I know Fox news is pushing just blatant misinformation about the virus and severity of everything, but what about the other networks like MSNBC and CNN? I only watch DemocracyNow and Al Jazeera for American news and don't have cable.

Are other networks at least trying to be sort of honest? Are they blaming everything on Trump? What's the deal?

    That's pretty much the extent of it IMO. The elites are fully disconnected from the average working person. I think it's not just that they don't care and/or are maneuvering to maintain power through corporate double-dealing, but that they have genuinely no idea what it means for like 90% of someone's income to go to health insurance and housing... if they are lucky enough to even have those.

    I honestly don't think a neoliberal administration would have been able to do much better though. The propaganda narrative would have been different but I doubt there would be any less suffering. They would still be spraying corrosive chemicals on illegally detained asylum seekers. In fact, the chuds may have gone even more fully insane if it wasn't their guy pulling the levers. I feel like we would have seen a lot more stochastic terror at the street level. All speculation here though.
