Can we get a list of which news sites can be posted on MSM and Non MSM?

Can we get a list of which news sites can be posted on MSM and Non-MSM? Can anything that is not MSM be put in Non-MSM? There's a ton more of smaller internet sites that I always wonder if I can post in Non-MSM or not.

I think so far this is right...

MSM:
CNN
NYT
Fox
NBC
WaPo
The Guardian
ABCNews
BBC
LA Times
Reuters
CBS News
New York Post
Chicago Tribune
Washington Times
independent.co.uk
WSJ
msnbc
apnews

NON-MSM:
Huffington Post
USA Today
Politico
NPR
Breitbart
Vox
thehill
Yahoo
Newsweek
Newsmax
axios
theweek
businessinsider
theweek
thinkprogress
buzzfeednews
rollingstone
motherjones
 
NPR, Businessinsider, Politico, and USA Today need to be moved to mainstream. Washington Times and Fox need to be moved to non-mainstream. I'm a bit iffy on Independent.co.uk

There was a time that I would have considered The Hill to be MS, but their all-around crap reporting has changed my mind. Also, I'm undecided on Axios.

Okay so:

MSM:
NPR
BusinessInsider?
Politico
USA Today

Non-MSM:
Fox?
Washington Times?

So now I'm even more confused. From the rules

*BN* - Mainstream Media: A news service whose primary means of distribution is print, broadcast, or wire services. Local newspapers forced to switch to a digital format may aslo be placed here as well as AP stories reposted to the web free of additional commentary.
Examples Include: CNN, Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The Associated Press

• *BN* - Non-MSM: A news service whose primary means of distribution is the internet or is found in a section of a MSM news service labeled as "Blogs".
Examples Include: The Drudge Report, Huffington Post, ABC News Blog, YouTube

BI: I believe is internet only?
NPR: This is "wire services"? So radio qualifies?
Fox: They were primarily broadcast until the internet grew.
Washington Times: Has a printed newspaper.

Is there some other metric I'm missing here?

This is why we need a list.

Having had my share on BN errors, I was advised to use Wiki to determine the origins of a news site.

I disagree about Fox News. “Mainstream” doesn’t mean unbiased or even fair.
 
There isn't a definitive list. The definition as is spells it out pretty well.
