That's not the point, Frank. Fox is the sole Right-leaning news organization whereas all the others are and have been Left-leaning for decades. Fox is as "legit" as the others are. It is not any less "legit" simply because it has an opposite bias. At least it provides variety or diversity of opinion.
The implication was that anything that runs as a story on Fox could not be credible simply because it ran on Fox. That assumption is a bias in itself.
Dan Rather disgraced himself in gambling that he could manufacture a false document and pass it off as news for a political purpose, which he did to influence an election. If the truth had not been discovered, resulting in his being discredited, he would still be working as a champion of the Left in the news media.
