There is no major left-wing equivalent to the Tucker Carlson original series Fox pushes. I’m not sure I buy that the left-wing media stoops to quite the lows that Fox does. The Patriot Purge series specifically intones that Jan. 6 was a false flag operation from the FBI to institute martial law and arrest Trump supporters - that, from the most watched cable news host in the US.

sounds harmless compared to Operation Northwoods: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods

but probably untrue since it was allowed on mainstream media. Anything that really threatens the narrative will be banned outright or at mission critical times, like this documentary removed from youtube after being available for 6 years:

Exactly. This article on Rolling Stone only gets published because there is a market for it, i.e., there are Right-wingers out there looking for 'evidence' that CNN is just as bad as 'fair & balanced' Fox News. In a free enterprise world, pieces only get published when there is a demand for it. I'm not quite persuaded by the Rolling Stone piece. To me, it has 'what about CNN' written all over it.
