Trump is basing this off an article[1] that categorizes the best news outlets in America and abroad (New York Times, the New Yorker, Bloomberg, LA Times, NPR, the BBC, CNN) as being on the far left[2]. (There's also a few strange inclusions like ESPN. I was unaware that ESPN was part of the liberal media conspiracy).
If your premise is that Breitbart and the New York Times have equal "quality" as news reporting organizations, and are equally partisan, and the only thing separating them is their political bent, then yes, it looks like Google is stacking the deck in favor of news organizations that you've categorized as leftist.
In reality, what's happening is that Google's algorithm favors trustworthy news sources over untrustworthy ones, and the right has branded "factual news we don't like" as partisan.
