Do liberals think Fox News is the only biased news source? If yes then why do you think that CNN or MSNBC are unbiased?

They believe Fox News is biased becasue they're mad the left no longer enjoys a monopoly on the media in this country.
Fox News is no more biased than any other media outlet. If anything, it is LESS biased than many...particularly NPR. Have you listened to them lately? That old fart Daniel Schorr's motto should be "Daniel Schorr: hating America since the Hoover adaministration".

No,I believe everyone including journalists have a bias and it is inevitable that it comes through in the reporting.
I do feel however that fox news is definitely more biased but that could just be my bias and if so than I'm blind for it.
No one is smart enough to see his own stupidity or prejudices.Knowing you got them is a start.

I don't. I've dealt with national news sources from Fox and NBC. Both networks and the truth were far apart. My problem is that most conservatives call the media "liberal bias," when there are major bias on both sides. AM talk radio is media, by the way.

All news sources are biased. MSNBC, as an example, is owned by Microsoft and would not report anything that would tarnish their corporate leaderships image. I don't trust anything unless I get it from 2 or more different sources.

Fox news is just more bias then other channels and they emphasize their "fair and balanced" line more. I don't see the other stations trying to constantly convince their viewers they are balanced like Fox does. All channels are bias, but I feel Fox News is more dangerous because they are succeeding in convincing people they aren't. With other news channels, it is easier to see where the particular journalists bias is and where the opinion and commentary is different from the news.

Fox "News" is the only one that claims in its own tagline to be unbiased and yet they are probably the most obviously biased. That's why people focus more attention on Fox.

All are biased. Fox is more transparent. Bias should be carefully done, as the song says.

All news reporting is biased. The real question is whether they are liberal or conservative. In the u.s. there is no left-wing media, despite being repeatedly told the opposite.

ALL 24 hour news stations are crap...slow news days make people invent stories, or report fluff, or yell at guests to shut up. It's all stupid and should be taken as entertainment, and not real news.

Watch several stations and you start to get a feeling for where things slant. Fox is fairly blatant about their bias.
In general, broadcast media leans right, and print media leans left ... and of course there are exceptions.
