An excerpt from FAIR: FAIR did a study and classified each guest by both political ideology and party affiliation. Only two ideological categories were used: conservative and non-conservative. Guests affiliated with openly conservative think tanks, magazines or advocacy groups, or who promote openly conservative views, were labeled as such. All other guests were grouped together in the non-conservative category, including centrists, liberals and progressives; non-political guests (e.g., Cheney's heart doctor); and "objective" journalists who do not avow any ideology. Republicans were not automatically counted as conservatives:
Moderate Republicans like Christopher Shays, Christine Todd Whitman and David Gergen, for example, were classified as non-conservatives.
There's too much to add here but here's a few links

Let me get this right...
Your "question" is actually a request for evidence of Fox News being biased. Further, you don't want anyone who disagrees with your hypothesis to answer because "it's not helpful".
Do I have that right?
Well, tough... you'll just have to tolerate my "not helpful" answer!
How in the name of sanity can you seriously complain about "bias" and then ask the most biased Q I have read in a long time on YA? If this is a serious Q, you have a serious problem!
And oh by the way, I checked some of your other Q's and see that you say you'd like to run for Congress some day. I have two suggestions if you want to do that:
1. Learn to think, learn to spell and learn to write beyond the third grade level.
2. Stop posting inane Q's on YA. They go back and find everything you've ever said or written. And I have to believe that this Q is one you'd wish you hadn't asked!
Nice to see the caliber of up and coming future liberal politicians!

Fox news tries to tell it the way it is. Bill O'Reilly is pro-conservative although he claims to be a middle of the roader. Hannity and Colms are extreme right and extreme left and both are full of crap because they play the game of good guy and bad guy too often. CNN is mostly toward the left but occasionally moves toward the middle. NBC is waste of time and it doesn't matter what they believe in but they seem to be far left. What does a viewer have to do in order to get a frank, straightforward news report?

It's important that in the vast sea of left leaning media, there is one voice at least trying to be more to the middle. Why aren't you crying about MSNBC being biased? Or CNN? Or NBC? Or whoever? If you don't like it, don't watch! Or better yet, watch and learn!!

There is a difference between stating facts and smearing someone.
Fox is biased to far left liberals. Liberals think they are mainstream (eventhough they are not). Anyone right of them is considered biased.
Fox brings up a lot of issues not mentioned by the liberal media. This is the conservative point of view that is not mentioned.
Just because you state something does not mean it is true.

Well for one they are fair and tell the truth unlike Dan Rather. Usually to liberals, telling the truth makes a news company biased because we all know that the truth is not in liberals favor.

It's not biased, I have to listen to that liberal freak Alan Colmes on fox news and all those left wing nut guests on Fox news, although I tolerate it unlike libs.
I disagree but it's a free Country and I can answer if I please. Isn't that what you guys so preach, freedom of speech or does that only apply to liberals.

Can someone help me to justify CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, NPR ad nauseum for their left wing bias. Some of them are so far left
they practically fall off the edge of the world.

All media outlets are biased to either the right or the left, but, depending on your own personal viewpoint, you don't notice it as much when it agrees with your own views, becasue it sounds correct. I do find their slogan "fair and balanced" laughable, however.

Fox News was threatened by an outside source to stop airing any 'bad' news about bush...or they would live to regret it.
