I don't have any direct sources to link but I remember seeing some pretty appalling omissions of Bernie Sanders during the 2020 primary.
They'd literally put up a little infographic on the screen that would say something like
Democratic primary front runners:
1 Joe Biden
3 Pete Buttigieg
4 Michael Bloomberg
And it was like, WTF! Bernie Sanders, at #2 would just be completely omitted. I saw many news sources doing this kind of thing.
With that, and seeing how they reacted to help the rich stop losing their asses when the hedge funds were getting raped via their illegal shorting of GameStop stock solidified for me that all media is controlled by the rich and they're controlling all the narrative - to the detriment of the 99%.
