Can Democrats, Republicans, and Independants agree about any particular news outlet being unbiased?

I think they're all biased to some degree.
The most unbiased in my opinion is Fox news.

Probably not. Everyone has an agenda. All of the major news agencies care about one thing, money. All of their reporting is done with the intention of getting more viewers and hence more money. I am sure there are some out there who really do try to be unbiased, but lets face it we all have our own biases. When a news agency claims to be unbiased or fair and balanced, they are full of crap. Those who spend a lot of time telling you how fair or trustworthy they are, are often the most untrustworthy and least fair.

No. You will find that the news broadcast agencies are owned by a corporation and they are expressing their opinions. I hope you don't think the news only reports on what goes on. They report on what they are told to report on. That's why there is so many different news organizations today. Besides, this is their way of keeping the news going. The more bad news they report, the more bad news that's waiting to be reported. Thank you.

Independents often agree about news media with either main party, but no, few Dems and Reps can agree. People in the U.S. are woefully short on media that try seriously to remove bias.
A wise few souls catch Canada's CBC and the U.K.'s BBC. In print there's nothing more balanced than the Manchester Guardian, especially its weekly. In the U.S., Harper's Magazine can cover issues well, though rarely with Republican sensitivities.

No. If you agree with the news report they are unbiased. If you don't then they are biased. They can NEVER win.
