I started watching CNN in the early 90's when I didn't know too much about politics. Then people started talking about MSNBC and how they were much more "balanced". Well, over the past two years, I've been toying with the media and the different news channels, and I've found that Fox News truly has the best and most reliable coverage of current events. Now, some of the shows do tend to show a biasness towards the right, but isn't that the case with ALL news channels, except most speak to the left? Seriously, Ive seen some fantastic debates on Fox that were very balanced, yet I have not seen the same from the above mentioned news channels.

Yes.
Fox News still has the best legs of English-speaking news broadcasts.

First the poll that found most journalist were liberal was done in 1987; a poll taken in 2003 found just the opposite; that over 60% of so called journalists are right wing conservatives. So stop spreading the "liberal lie" that conservatives need you to spread in order to gain listeners.
Second: do what I do, block all Fox channels from your cable box. If you want nothing but hate filled warmongering right wing propaganda from the Fascist Roger Ailes, then keep listening to Fox and you will get what you deserve; but you won't learn the truth.
For your information, Ted Turner, who started CNN and is still in control of the news content, is a right wing conservative. So much for that lie. And also, Time who is part owner of CNN is also right wing: The Luce family who began Time was the most far right wing conservative family in the United States at one time. So much for that lie.
While it is true that Tom Brokaw, Stone Phillips and some ABC "journalists" are right wing and will bring you only a conservative slant on everything they produce, most CBS and CNN journalists try to bring an unbiased approach. With the exception of the clown Glen Beck of course.
You can always subscribe to a TV delivery service that brings CBC or Link TV if you want to find out what is going on around the world without a right or left wing US slant.
The best thing to do is listen to what they have to say, and then investigate for yourself. It is relatively easy.

I've never seen anything "fair and balanced" about Fox News! Actually, it's all in the way you believe. If you're right wing, then you're going to think that Fox is fair and balanced. If you're left wing, you're going to swear by CNN and MSNBC. They're all biased actually if you really pay attention.

FOX is not perfect but far far better than CNN

FOX news is, indeed, fair & balanced, especially when compared to CNN or NBC.
