I read him as referring only to Fox.
It is one of the inherent ambiguities of English idiom that people will say 'like X' or 'such as X' when they have only X in mind. It is sometimes a source of humor as when an exclamation like "what would a man like Napoleon say?" is met by the rejoinder "Probably the same as what Napoleon himself would say".
Furthermore, such rants are a typical response to any mention of Fox News, even though it does not appear to be worse than other mainstream media outlets, differing only in its political slant.
