I have been told that Fox News are right wing, and New York Times, CNN, Washington Post, La Times, Seattle Times, Chicago Tribune and so on are left wing. Is there a news channel in USA accepted by BOTH republicans and democrats? The reason why I ask, is because I am trying to find a completely neutral US news channel these days.

I would place WSJ and Washington Examiner in the "C" or Center column

WSJ is in the C column (their opinion page considered leans right)
The Washington Examiner is definitely a conservative leaning source.
So, looks like WSJ may be considered neutral by most of us

The new coronavirus is primarily transmitted through respiratory droplets and contact when a person coughs or sneezes. According to current information, the role of contaminated surfaces does not contribute significantly to the spread of the virus. The structure of coronaviruses is such that they do not remain infectious on surfaces for a long time, especially at varying temperatures.
Even if the coronavirus is found on surfaces using highly sensitive laboratory methods, this does not mean that the virus is effectively transmitted via surfaces. Normal cleaning agents can effectively kill the coronavirus.

Using a face mask may be recommended for people with symptoms who are forced to be in public places and may infect others.
Other people, such as tourists or customer service workers, will probably not benefit from the use of a face mask. There is no evidence that the extensive use of a face mask prevents infections in the general population.
Although a face mask prevents you from touching your mouth and nose and protects against droplets, it is only useful if used correctly. The mask must be replaced frequently and disposed of safely. This is why it is best to first and foremost take care of good hand hygiene.

MSNBC is left wing. CNN is the middle. Fox News is right wing.
CNN calls out Trump for his tweets and lies. This does not make then left wing.

So I hear FOX is right and the rest of the US press is left which means there is only one paper to be trusted by everyone in USA and that is USA Today. Well I read them all and I make up my own mind anyway.

Trump started the fake news nonsense. It turned out his facts were not facts at all.
Its interesting to watch how The BBC covers the US news.

The best solution is to get news from several sources.

It was not this way prior to Trump. Anyone that disagrees with him he calls fake news and claims they are left wing.

A lawsuit for reporting "false" information filed by the "Washington League for Increased Transparency and Ethics, a little-known nonprofit group that does not appear to operate a website"
Lol...and this is to be taken seriously? The frivolous lawsuit is expected to be thrown out of court in the blink of an eye.

It was that way (biased politically) prior to Trump. But since Trump, it's moved more towards the extremes. PBR/NPR has been solidly to the left for a long time. Bloomberg is a good news source, in general, but politically its' journalism is well to the left, supporting the positions of its' owner, Michael Bloomberg; and like many, it charges for reading its' general news. Also, there is recent credible evidence Bloomberg has suppressed its' China reporting to be sure it did not offend that government - so its coverage of China is constrained/biased. Bloomberg makes huge profits in China (and worldwide) from monthly fees from its extremely successful Bloomberg terminals.
USA Today is more central than most, but its' coverage is slanted against Trump - not fake, but biased. WSJ probably most neutral/unbiased with it's journalism, but its quality has declined over the past ten years. Its opinion section is to the right on business, personal responsibility, and role of government issues.
