2020 has felt longer than a normal year. So much happened that it's hard to even catalogue every news-breaking event: Australian bushfires, Trump'simpeachment trial, Prince Harry leaving the British Royal Family... and that was just January.
But in this annual year-in-review program, "The Source" looks back at the three main events that overwhelmingly defined the past year: the COVID-19 pandemic, Black Lives Matter protests, and the 2020 election cycle.
