There are plenty of hateful and sociopathic people across the political spectrum. There are also people across the entire political spectrum that care about helping others. It's narrow minded and bigoted to suggest otherwise.
I dislike Trump, but even I can see that there is a subset of the media that has a conscious or unconscious principle of attacking him for almost everything he says and does. If he does X, attack him for doing X. If he does the opposite of X, attack him for doing the opposite of X. If he first does X and then does the opposite of X, first attack him for doing X and then switch and attack him for doing the opposite of X. If he makes peace, call him soft on our enemies. If he makes war, call him bloodthirsty. Etc.
This subset of the media also tends to lie about what Trump says. So, for example, a few years ago they insinuated that Trump had called all Mexicans criminals and rapists. Trump never had. A couple of days ago, they insinuated that Trump blew up on a reporter because the reporter had asked Trump what he had to say to Americans who were scared. In context and without selective editing, though, it seems a lot more likely to me that Trump blew up on the reporter because the reporter had just a few moments previously asked Trump if Trump's tendency to put a positive spin on things was giving people false hope.
This subset of the media has been accusing Trump of exaggerating the effects of hydroxychloroquine. But I have not been able to find any statements from Trump in which he promoted it one-sidedly as any sort of miracle cure.
Trump lies all the time, but that doesn't mean I don't see that a certain fraction of the media lies about Trump too.
I don't think it's a total collective effort on the part of the media to smear Trump, although I'm pretty sure that there are pockets of collective effort there. There are subsets of the media that uncritically praise Trump, so it's certainly not one-sided. There's probably also a clickbait profit motive behind some of the deceptive media coverage. It's a lot easier to take a Trump quote out of context and write a quick article making it seem like he said something horrendous than it is to actually do investigative journalism and thoughtful commentary.
As for whether such media people would care about millions dying? Well, did they care enough about the fate of Iraqis to be adequately cynical about Bush administration hogwash about WMDs that any intelligent teenager with an interest in war could have poked holes in? No. To add insult to injury, many of them actually started to fawn over the Bushes once Trump was in office.
>Note that those opposing Trump are on the left
"Left" is not well-defined. If you mean "left" as in socialist-leaning, then I would say that I doubt that a clear majority of Trump's opponents are on the left. Many are.
>and actually care about helping others
No matter how you define "left", the "left" has no monopoly on actually caring about helping others. And the "left" has plenty of people who talk a big talk about wanting to help others but who actually, whether they realize it about themselves or not, only care about power and use the talk of help as a disguise. All parts of the political spectrum have people like that.
