Surely you havent forgotten that Fox is the Conservative CNN, who also did the tabloid-like "two scoops" meme.
Fox and CNN are mainstream Tabloid.
But outside these two tabloid news sourced i have yet to see my point broken.

"Tabloid" is an exaggeration. They're both biased sources with at least an established history of doing unethical things. But like, if you pluck out the average Fox or CNN article at random, it probably isn't full of blatantly false information. Same thing can't be said about other sites (Breitbart, Huffington Post, cnn, NaturalNews, etc).
I watch neither CNN nor Fox, but the only reason I'll defend their credibility is because this whole 'fake news' meme is tied pretty much inseparably to people's hate towards those two networks, and they use it as an excuse to deflect actually legitimate criticism towards the current administration.

of course we can't forget all the tiny little insignificant networks that no one was listening to anyways, that'd be a big misrepresentation

name one conservative network that you can't automatically consider "fake news" to the same caliber
news industry is forgeted, that doesn't make a site that occasionally reports fake news a "fake news site." fox and cnn are handicapped but they still carry information from two sides
