The media is not monolithic, but a large subset of it is fervently against Trump, against Trump supporters, and against Republicans in general. The worse the pandemic and shutdown get, the more this subset of the media can use it to bash Trump, Trump supporters, and Republicans. Generally speaking, the worse the economy gets, the less likely that the incumbent president will be re-elected. I don't think that this media slant is the result of a conspiracy, though, at least not for the most part. I'd guess that probably most of the slant comes from subconscious bias, not conscious intent.
I'm against Trump too, for various reasons - for example, I don't like his authoritarian mindset, his stance on torture, his stance on surveillance, and his foreign policy towards Iran - but I'm not a fan of the constant hysterics of the anti-Trump media either. Some of those people would claim that Trump was somehow being deceitful and evil even if he just said that 2 + 2 = 4.
There are, I'm sure, other sources of media bias on this matter as well, but this is the one that immediately comes to my mind.
How do you feel about the right-wing media that was obsessively critical about Obama for strangely irrelevant things such as his choice of mustard or color of suits?
It seems to me that almost all of the criticism of Trump is well justified by his incoherence, rudeness, anti-intellectualism, blatant nepotism, lack of structure, refusal to divest, repeated untruthful statements, lack of logical consistency, questionable policies, and apparent tendency towards cronyism.

I feel that it was idiotic propaganda.

The problem as I see it is too many Trump haters go beyond the many valid reasons to hate him and instead, due to conscious or subconscious bias, start to do things like take things he says out of context, or read more into those things than is necessarily justifiable, or try to paint him as a uniquely evil figure even though we have had presidents in recent memory who literally supported death squads in third world countries... etc.
