I am simply comparing them on a political spectrum of progressive, left, right, etc.
This is independent of lawsuits. There are a number of news outlets that have settled lawsuits - ABC, CNN, CBS (imminent), Newsmax, to name a few. Yes, Dominion was a large one. None of these change where these news outlets sit on the political spectrum.
The original discussion has to do with political bias and whether the government should be funding politically biased news organizations. NPR is a politically biased news organization. So is FOX. So are all of these organizations. Only NPR gets government funding.
Comparing the obvious shakedown of CBS to the Fox lawsuit is absurd.
There seems to be a lot of overlap in the Venn diagram between people who
(1) claim to get their information from "a wide variety of news sources"
(2) apparently believe that every source is equally trustworthy.
