I agree with you about NYT and Washington Post. The problem is the flat earthers think that anything that is not on Fox News , Newsmax or talk radio is fake. CNN and MSNBC deal in facts as well. The problem is that the real luddite crowd who are mostly Trump supporters don't believe anything unless it comes from Sean Hannity. Fox, Breitbart and Newsmax as well as talk radio deals in non stop lies. Right wing media has bought up most of the local stations and recite the same kind of crap.
This has ripped apart our country and has created a bunch of crazy right wing freaks that don't source check anything and just recite a bunch of shit.

I watch MSNBC, CNN and Fox. MSNBC is the most biased of the lot, it's a good one to watch when I want to get pissed off. Fox is almost as bad during prime time, and Fox and Friends isn't always objective either. But a lot of its daytime reporting actually is fair and balanced. Look at Chris Wallace for example, he's as hard on Trump as anyone.
CNN is a strange bird. It used to be middle of the road, and I wouldn't necessarily say it's anti Republican. But it's definitely anti Trump, everyday and all day.
The NYT has always had a slanted editorial page, but their news reporting was the best in the nation and unbiased. They're still good, but the bias has slipped off the editorial page and permeated many of their news articles.
The Washington Post I don't read regularly, just the links on Google News, but they have some good reporting. I don't know about their editorials because I never read them.
