Our country spends poorly regardless of administration. Join me in bringing spending back to what the constitution allows for and a lot less for other things.
I will happily give you non-sarcical answers but that would assume you are willing to enter into a debate without sarc

Here is a comparison between North Korean TV and Fox
Unfortunately it's on Twitter, not YouTube so it won't play automatically.

i’m not denying that fox is very sympathetic to trump. the rest of the networks hate him. so i can’t fathom how you’d say that in the aggregate, american networks are state run tv.

When did i say you’d say that in the aggregate, american networks are state run tv.
Your 1% number is very misleading at best.
What counts is the percentage of total viewers in the US, not all americans are watching any TV and fewer yet are watching news.
Fox at 2.4m is very close to equal to MSNBC and CNN combined
Fox News averaged 2.4 million primetime viewers to rank as the most-watched network in all of basic cable from 8-11 p.m. ET. MSNBC came in second place with an average of 1.7 million, while TNT, ESPN, and HGTV rounded out the top five.The lowly CNN finished fifteenth, averaging only 761,000 primetime viewers and finishing behind channels such as Discovery and the Food Network.

you left out abc, nbc, cbs. conveniently.
fox is one piece of the pie, and is bet their coverage of trump
isn’t as biased in favor of him, to the degree that everyone else is biased against him. but i don’t watch much.

I've never seen any host denigrate Trump at the same level that Hannity, Pirro, Dobbs, Carlson, Regan, etc. praise him.
