Technically the most corrupt U.S. politician ever is Leland Yee.

He was caught being part of an illegal weapons smuggling operation. You would not believe how many of us gamers cheered when he was arrested.

He hated violent games and wanted to ban them.

It's true what they say, those who preach morality the loudest are in bed with the Devil himself.

I'm aware he was a Dem, but if he was a Repub, the silence from Fox News would be deafening.

What was the left-wing media like in reporting his corruption?

They reported it alright. You often hear the phrase "The Left eats their own" from conservatives, but let's say Leland Yee was republican, pro gun, and got caught during the Trump administration. I'm willing to bet right-wing news would bury this story because they want to keep up appearances that the Right can do no wrong and spin it as a another LeftWing Conspiracy.

As a general rule, both sides engage in hyperpartisanship to protect their own narrative.
There are complications at times.

Of the important part is that he was an anti-gun arms dealer.
