IOW, the WaPost and NYTimes do not equal Breitbart and The Epoch Times just as CNN does not equal OANN, NewsMax or Faux News.

If you want to argue "degrees of bias", you're welcome to do that. Regarding your claim that "WaPost and NYTimes do not equal Breitbart and The Epoch Times", WaPO and NY Times offer themselves up as
unbiased news sources reporting straight news. Most folks don't really believe that, and those outlets only have themselves to blame. More research on that from Pew here:

As far as your claim that "the wingnut infotainment complex makes shit up out of whole cloth (e.g., Seth Rich, Stop the Steal, Sandy Hook & Parkland crisis actors, Dominion Voting Systems, ..."), you're missing a few. Nick Sandmann, Brett Kavanaugh, the 2020 riots were mostly peaceful, the discovery of Hunter Biden’s laptop was a Russian plot, Trump was a Russian asset, Trump and Alfa Bank, etc.
