Most American media is partisan and Fox News is a well known Republican news source? This stuff is not conspiracy theory it's just how their media operates. Fox is Republican-slanted .

fox news is designated an entertainment channel, not a news channel. That should tell everyone all they need to know

That's like saying Sky or The BBC or ITV are entertainment channels not news channels, so that tells you all you need to know.

Does that mean if Fox is Republican slanted, and Fox dominates in the viewership ratings, that Republicans are the majority and there's no way that Biden could have received the most votes in history?

No it means that Republicans are more inclined to use TV as their primary news source (rather than news publications or online news sources). This is down to a combination of lower educations levels (more likely to watch or listen to news than read it) and Republicans having a generally older voter base (more likely to still be using broadcast television over on-demand sources).that's not intended as offensive stereotyping by the way - these are known statistics.

Tl;Dr - "all it means is that Republicans watch more telly"

They might not watch more telly, maybe they just prefer current affairs instead of Simon Cowell or a Netflix series (take your pick of many)?
