If you don't like the message do you shoot the messenger? In this case you do. For hard news I trust CNN. Fox news is just a cheerleader for the Bush administration.

I agree with what you say, but Fox news tilts "slightly towards the right"? Give me a break. This is no tilt, this is a jail break.

While I do see an occasional left leaning bias on CNN, it is undoubtedly far more reliable than Fox News. Which strikes me as nothing more than a 24 hour infomercial for the White House.
Honestly though, the laziness CNN showed in coverage of how bad the war was going (at least until recently), has pretty much made me give up on them too. Now I get most of my news from BBC Radio. Whenever I'm on the computer, I pull up their live world news and have it running in a seperate window. Here's a link:

More biased than Fox...Wow...that's really a concept, isn't it? I mean, short of leaders in the field like Mao, Stalin and Hitler, it's a stretch.
I guess the only people more biased than Fox would be Bush and Cheney. But as for "Don't shoot the messenger", c'mon, we're talking about Dick Cheney - he shoots PALS, I don't think he's gonna stop short of CNN :oD

Fox News is the other side of the story-the reports you won't get from the liberal, mainstream media. Is there any doubt in your mind that any of the mainstream anchors is not liberal? Fox News is simply equal time. "The news" is what the networks choose to talk about today, and in what manner they choose to convey it. "The news" is by no means the total story or even the most noteworthy things that happened today.Read Gavin De Becker's chapter re. this in his book "Fear Less" for an objective description of what American media tends to package as The News, and the reasons why it is done in the manner that is usually chosen. I don't believe this author to be conservative, but he is very adept at simply pointing out the various aspects of what we tend to just swallow whole when looking for current event info.I don't think Bush is without his faults, not by a long shot, but I also disagree with the way he is portrayed in the media at large. Hope you'll be open to checking out that reading & thinking on it some as to whether the man has any valid insights.

Who is more biased than Fox? Since it's a known fact that the Media is over 70% liberal, ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN are way too biased. Fox is the ONLY news that even comes close to bringing both sides. So who is better informed?

CNN The Clinton News Network. This network is just the propaganda arm of the democratic party and as such should be labeled an editorial network. The video they are showing is basically treason as far as I am concerned. They received it from a terrorist organization. I will never watch CNN.

CNN is the most biased news media followed closely by CBS,ABC,and NBC. Fox tilts slightly toward conservative views.
no American main stream news outlet is objective and unbiased.
all editorialize instead of report. they all have an agenda they want to push on the American public.
it is dangerous to let news outlets do your thinking for you.

Fox News is faux news. They're a joke. If some foolish people didn't take them so seriously, it would be funny, but as it is, Faux News simply stinks.
