You must be joking. TV MSM is ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox. Other than Fox, the rest are extremely tilted left. NBC in particular.

This is part of the problem. Anything that is not extreme left is considered right by the left. Joe Rogan considers himself a liberal and voted for Biden in 2020. I'll bet some of the other podcasters you think are on the right actually consider themselves centrist or liberal, like Tim Pool.

I don't think you do. See above.

Fox may have the highest ratings, but 'in totality' the other 3 networks have much higher combined viewership, so the premise that the leftwing MSM is larger is actually true.
