Uh, two recent studies, by the Pew Research Group and the Annenberg
Foundation for Public Broadcasting, found Fox News to present the most
balanced news reports (compared with the three major networks).

Fox News does have a couple of opinion shows (O'Reilly, etc.), but so do the
majors (Ophra, Dr Phil, etc.). These shows are clearly labeled as such.

News vs. news, however, Fox is clearly more fair than the others.


True, HeyBub.

O'Reilly is neither a Democrat or Republican. He's an independent and
has often criticized policies of President Bush.

"Hannity and Colmes" - Hannity is conservative, while Colmes is
liberal.

FoxNews features several liberal news analysts including Juan
Williams, Mara Liasson, Susan Estrich.

Liberals Geraldo Rivera and Greta Van Susteren have their own FoxNews
shows.

Those who state that FoxNews shows a high bias favoring conservatives
obviously don't watch it. Instead, many let Hollywood stars do their
research/thinking for them.
