I think that there's some pretty heavy lifting done by self-segregation into news sources. There are a relatively-small number of Republican-leaning sources.

Democrats and independents who lean toward the Democratic Party are much more likely than Republicans and GOP-leaning independents to both use and trust a number of major news sources. These include the major TV networks (ABC, CBS and NBC), the cable news networks CNN and MSNBC, major public broadcasters PBS and NPR, and the legacy newspaper with the largest number of digital subscribers, The New York Times.

Republicans, meanwhile, are much more likely to distrust than trust all of these sources. A smaller number of the sources we asked about are more heavily used and trusted by Republicans than Democrats, including Fox News, The Joe Rogan Experience, Newsmax, The Daily Wire, the Tucker Carlson Network and Breitbart.

Fox News only really has competition on the further right for TV news, from Newsmax and One America News Network. I'm actually kind of surprised that there hasn't been a challenger from the center-right side.

One could argue that the sources you listed (broadcast and cable news networks, major outlets like the New York Times, etc.), are the center-right.

^ This. The center-right is quite well-represented within the media landscape.
