The media leaning to the left or right does not make it face news, people want to get their news from sources that generally agree with their world view.
Here in the UK the media is generally right wing, supporting the Conservative party, brexit etc - I don’t agree with it personally but it’s not fake news.
Politics is not made up of right or wrong answers, there are different points of view in every household and across the media too

I turned this off after 30 seconds. A biased news story is a biased news story, not a fake news story.
Yes, all media is biased and it always has been - that’s why most major cities used to have multiple newspapers in the days before television, because different ones would slant the coverage for a different readership (e.g. workers vs. bosses, rich vs poor).
Fake news, on the other hand, involves a story that is either not supported by good sources/ good facts, or in some cases, is completely fabricated. There are a lot of these stories out there, as shown by Comey stating that a NYT story was not true and CNN recently retracting a story. But every biased story is not “fake”, nor does the fact that a story appears on a biased non-MSM source like Vox or Breitbart automatically make it “fake”. Let’s not forget that the Drudge Report broke the Monica Lewinsky scandal story back in the day, and that turned out to be real as could be with physical evidence.
