No - and even if it was, the bias is on the Trump side. As the BF review of 9 major news pages on FB showed:
- MSM: 99.3% mostly true or no factual content
- Left: 80.9% mostly true or no factual content
- Right: 62.3% mostly true or no factual content
This is just points on the number of articles though - there is then a major leverage effect where fake articles have higher virality, meaning the systemic bias on the right is significantly higher than the ~40% of published articles if you count eyeballs on the articles.
