You are ignoring google news, where they effectively run their own editing by selecting the articles at the top, and also what comes back as the first page of result when you type “joe biden thinks” for instance. I’d say they have at least the same political influence.

Particularly given that never mind what their reported engagement numbers say, I only know people who stopped using facebook around me. I just don’t believe their numbers.

Google News is completely irrelevant, comparing to Facebook. Particularly for news.
Google News is not a proper competitor to FB though. No one I know uses it at all
Doesn't seem to be the opinion of news websites when they were cut out by google
