And here's the link to an article on Carter's quote.
Jimmy Carter has been in that seat, and he says the media has been harder on Trump.

I agree on that part of the assertion, that they have been unnecessarily hard (WaPo mostly) on Trump, and they don't even have to be. It dilutes their credibility.
Being overly hard on Trump and being overwhelmingly left-leaning isn't necessarily the same thing though. I mean Lindsay Graham who is fairly conservative went on a Trump slam tour before the election. Mitt Romney did the same thing, as did other conservative leaders.

While I would also appreciate a source, whether Fox is the most watched network doesn't really affect his statement.

I agree, but the right wing news companies have been shouting this for 20 years, and I'm not sure if it's any more true today than it was 20 years ago.
I mean there is a reason Fox blathers on about being most trusted and all that, just like a used car salesman says, "trust me."
Have a link? I know Fox is the most watched cable news network. I assume television is still the majority of the way Americans consume the news.
