It might seem that way to you because you're far to the right.

Aren't Fox News and the odd shock jock well-distributed too?

I agree with that. I watched CNN in the lead-up to your presidential
election and there was an anti-Trump bias to a lot of their reporting.
But Fox News was worse IMO. They were telling stories that were such
obvious lies that they almost couldn't take them seriously themselves.

But I agree, just give me the facts. I'll add the opinion myself.
