    Out of those three, FOX is easily the most biased (to the right) and CNN is the most unbiased. It's not even close.

    If Fox News is sooooo bad and "biased" like you claim, why is it the most watched network out of MSNBC and CNN? You can't possibly sit here and say that Fox is more biased than MSNBC. On Fox you at least get both sides of an argument, when on MSNBC you only get the liberal view. How often to you see a famous Conservative on MSNBC? Usually, if they ever have Republicans, they are very very moderate and don't represent the party well at all.

    It's you're.

    And:

    You're kidding right? Fox News... unbiased? HA! Did you even see the videos posted about Fox News?!?!?!

    And the lead anchor of MSNBC's morning opinion show is a Republican ex-congressman. How many Democrats have their own shows on Fox?

    I'm sure you're aware that "most watched" doesn't necessarily mean "least biased."

    I used to watch Glenn Beck's program all the time. It was pure comedic genius.

    Well considering the hose of their morning show is a conservative, I'd say you're wrong about MSNBC. They have Michael Steele all the time on and he was the most recent former head of the Republican Party.

    They have All sorts of REpublican congressmen as guests including the most conservative ones.

    But shows like ED and Al Sharpton's show are definitely biased.

    The fact that FOX is so biased is probably why it's the most watched.

    Ratings are hardly a rebuttal to their numerous instances of bias, and falsifying reporting.

    Dont' take my word for it. Take FOX's word for it. They argued in court for their right to lie. That's something neither CNN nor MSNBC have done.

    Not sure about bias, but study after study shows FOX viewers to be the least informed on the issues.

    go figure

    I have no idea what I am anymore. Free-thinker? Independent? Some other stupid thing that way too many people are claiming to be now? (Seriously, I know almost no "Republicans," they are all ungodly conservative "independents" who happen to vote exclusively Republican.

    Fox news is terrible. They aren't right-leaning. Leaning would imply that they are still close enough to the middle to be standing. Fox News is laying in their bed, smoking a cigarette.

    I don't watch much news on TV. If I do, it is generally CNN.

    All I know is I'm not a Democrat any more. I doubt I'll even bother wasting a vote for our President. If I lived in a swing state I would, but since my vote doesn't count, I'll abstain as my silent protest against his continuing and enhancing the worst policies the previous admin.

    BTW, I've never met a liberal who didn't admit MSNBC leaned right. They don't deny it either. Of course, if I know a liberal who watches MSNBC, I don't know it. I'd say close to all of the conservative friends/family of mine watch Fox regularly.

    I said most unbiased. It's rare that CNN shows bias. They always have people with different opinions on and make sure to have both sides of the story.

    Here's how I rate the big three cable news sources.

    Fox - Most biased, most inaccuracies, argued in court for their right to present false information

    MSNBC - Definite left leaning bias, some shows are ridiculous mirror images of FOX. Other shows are pretty good commentary, and good news.

    CNN - Focuses the most of all three networks on social, celebrity news. It's more full of trivial crap than both other networks combined. They toe the line and are more influenced by ratings an attempt to grab them than any political leaning.

    A lot of bias, and shady ethic from them. Great list, and some funny videos too.

    Which one? The one who was governor of MA or the one running for president?

    BTW I'd really like to hear your thoughts on my post about FOX viewers being the most ill informed about the issues. I think we all would.

    Because Obama didn't get rid of the policies of the previous administration. That administration being Republican. Also not being a Democrat anymore doesn't translate to not being a liberal anymore. He might not like the party, but his views are still going to be pro-liberal and anti-conservative.

    Fox and MSNBC are unwatchable -- at least if a volcano is blowing up I can put it on CNN and they won't try to blame the eruption on a conservative or liberal.
