It is a very weak argument to cherry pick a few items in an attempt to discredit an individual or organization... a proverbial throwing the baby out with the bath water. Just a few topics such as "weapons of mass destruction", "Michael Brown", "Nick Sandman", "safe and effective" could be used to determine that ALL news outlets are nothing more than purveyors of, as you put it, "gross, disgusting, indecent, treasonous, traitorous CRAP". The attack on Ivermectin as only a horse dewormer should be enough to have any logically minded person questioning the accuracy and, more importantly, the integrity of the outlet that was spewing such nonsense. Does that mean the outlet never factually reports? Of course not, only a fool would stumble into such a conclusion.
The problem is, as I see it, news has moved into a bias system. It's so obvious they even put out a bias ranking document each year to help people see where their preferred outlet ranks. What should be evident, but apparently incomprehensible by the average individual, is that ranking news by bias has no value. It does, however, enable one to reinforce their choice of echo chamber(s). News should be ranked by factual reporting and nothing else. If news isn't factual, it isn't news, it's fiction. The difficulty in today's environment is a reporter must check their personal bias and be objective. Ironically, what the stated argument against Tucker presents.
