No one can disagree the mainstream media often has a liberal bias, but as JSO notes, it's not factually-challenged news.

Cons don't get the difference between bias and fake news, and the right-wing media is peddling the latter.

Seriously, you can’t make this shit up (pun intended).
I think you illustrate the problem. CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC and NBC do not stream fake news. They are all characterized by some liberal bias, with CNN and MSNBC being more biased than the major broadcast networks are. But they do not report "fake news." I think the mediabiasfactcheck.com summary on ABC News fits all three of the broadcast networks:
Overall, we rate ABC News Left-Center biased based on story selection and word choices that moderately favor the left and High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and a reasonable fact check record.
I also think their MSNBC summary fits CNN as well:
Overall, we rate MSNBC Left Biased based on story selection that consistently leans left editorially. Although pundits and hosts have failed a few fact checks, straight news reporting is usually factual and sourced, therefore we rate them Mostly Factual for news reporting.
That is what you're dealing with. It's not the same thing as what's coming from the right. A large proportion of people on the right are consuming a constant barrage of outright false information and they insulate themselves from the truth by refusing to believe "the mainstream media."
Russia collusion

MAGA hat teen
Syria bomb footage

That’s four examples off the top of my head. GIANT stories, completely made up. Yet they ran with the lib narrative because that’s who they work for.

There’s literally hundreds of other examples of them pushing certain stories (that advance lib causes) while burying stories that hurt lib causes....So I really don’t GAF what some “factcheck” company says. I can see it with my own eyes.

First death in the US today

Also research is showing ages 0-20 show no to little symptoms and so far, only 2% of the infected fall in that age range. That % is of course people actually tested for the virus. It may be higher since they show few symptoms, and could still be spreading the virus.

I don't know what the reason is across the border, but first-world is becoming less resistant to bacteria too due to antibiotics.

Your own eyes are biased. The media never said there was "Russia collusion." They simply reported on what was going on during the investigation. Also, the Mueller report clearly indicated that it did not look at the question of "collusion" generally. It said they looked at whether or not there was cooperation between the Trump campaign and the Russian government with respect to two specific Russian government efforts. Meanwhile it said the Trump campaign director shared polling data on key midwestern states with a guy associated with Russian intelligence but said they couldn't say that was the kind of cooperation they were looking for because they don't know what was done with the polling data.

I can't see how you think the media's handling of the Smollett case was false. The totality of the situation has been pretty widely reportd.

The MAGA hat teen did indeed act like an asshole.

If I'm right about what you're talking about with the Syria bomb footage that is a legitimate criticism. However, ABC News publicly corrected the error.

It's not that there are never any errors by the media. It's that they try to adhere to certain standards and correct their errors when they make them. The "fake news" problem right now isn't with the mainstream media. It's with the "conservative" media.

What a load of bullshit, John. No, they don’t “correct their errors”. They report on rumor if it suits their agenda and they RARELY retract when wrong....And if something LEGIT happens that’s against their liberal agenda, it’s routinely ignored or buried. MAGA hat teen was such An asshole it’s costing CNN millions of dollars....Today’s media (FOX News included) is an embarrassment to what the Fourth Estate used to be.
