"but if that had been a protest AGAINST Trump it would have been labeled "mostly peaceful" by the media"

Jesus, why do people say things like this? Yes, there is a liberal bias in the media. Mainly because liberals are more commonly found in media and but also partly because reality has a liberal bias.

It is simply not possible to cover Trump's Republicans and Biden's Democrats as if they're equally good/bad and be doing your job as a journalist. However much you hate the Democrats (and I'm not saying you personally do or don't), there is no equivalent to Trump's attempts to steal the election or undermine faith in democracy or undermine America's intelligence agencies in favour of Putin, among the Democrats.

But anyway, yes, there is a liberal bias in the media. But if a bunch of Democrats, in protest about Trump, had stormed the Capitol building, beaten police with the American flag, and smeared their shit on the walls, the media would not have reported it as "Mostly peaceful." This is ridiculous and you know it. And if they *had* done these things, you wouldn't be saying it was "the weakest protest ever."

An insurrection is not"weak" when it gets to the point where there is a gallows outside the Capitol building and a mob shouting to hang Mike Pence as elected officials are trying to certify the results of a democratic election.

Yes, the media suppressed the Hunter Biden laptop story. This is extremely bad, and highlights the bias in the media that you refer to. I'm not downplaying this problem. But you can't act as if it cancels out all of the stuff Trump has done. This is much more in the same ballpark as Trump's tax fraud or his connections to Jeffrey Epstein (which also haven't been covered in the press) or his adulation of Vladimir Putin.

If nobody had ever found out about Hunter Biden's laptop, it would have been unjust, but literally nothing would have happened in the world. It wouldn't have affected your life or the state of democracy on America or, really much of anything. Nobody truly cares about the laptop, they care about the lies, which, as I said, is totally valid.

But for some reason, the same people don't care about Trump's lies. And Trump's lies have destroyed politics in America. I watched the McCain vs Obama debate a few weeks ago. And McCain's concession speech when he lost (y'know, the speech Trump still hasn't given) and you should be weeping for what Trump has stolen from America.
