Who cares?! As you said, Fox is crappy news so they don't get my business. Same thing with (generally) MSNBC and others. To answer the next question: The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, Shepard Smith
> it's one of those "least worst" choices
I respectfully and completely disagree. This is policing thought. Things are not worse than they have been before. The communist witch hunts of the 50s is one example. A lot of the things FDR did were marginal (turned out alright though). Once you start controlling freedom of expression, you own all expression. No one is smart enough. The free market may suck in the short run, but in the long run it will work out.
One perfect example of this:
> The POTUS is lying on an hourly basis
Yep, and HE LOST! His lying was a significant factor in this loss. Come January he won't be the POTUS.

I wish I could brush it off so easily, but the truth is that, well, the truth, does matter. You or I might choose to consume "news" from the likes of Fox, but many millions do. At that scale, the lies and fake news have an undeniable impact.
So here’s what will happen. Ban the “fake news” from Google, FB etc. You will have a pristine, non-offensive safe space bubble. All the banned folks will create their own safe space bubble on Parler or some other yet to be created platform. This won’t be a fringe group. It could be 30-40% of the populous. Comity and public discourse is extinct and then we really do have problems.
I think we are much better off with the misinformation and lies out in the sunlight for all to see and refute.
