Both have the same number of facts. Just different versions of the "facts".

Neither. There's a Reggae line which inspired my moniker that goes a little something like this: "If you're over 10 and watch CNN and believe everything, you're in too deep..." Meaning that you're most definitely drinking that Koolaid and need to look at how gullible you are. The same goes true for Fox but Mr. Marley probably couldn't think of an appropriate rhyme for them.
Try NPR/PBS and foreign news outlets. Even Univision is more informative than Fox/CNN combined and I only speak basic Spanish... Ever noticed how NO American mainstream press ever reports on what's going on outside these here borders unless it's some war or disaster? Another contributing factor to the dumbing down of Americans.

um....well, neither. Facts are twisted by both sides, but it matters what portion of either station you watch. NEWS is when Shepard Smith from FOX is on, and it is mostly fair in it's non-bias POV, same when CNN's News anchors are on. Now, the facts are left out when say Bill O'reilly, Hannity and Colmes, or when say Wolf Blitzer comes on, since that is COMMENTARY. I would say they are both pretty close to being fair, but all news is corrupted somehow, even if done unintentionally. Hell, this post here is probably been corrupted. Hope this helps. I would say though that the viewer of Fox news gets somewhat more, since you do get a very moderate POV at times. NOT ALL THE TIME, but at times.

Fox is more opinion oriented.
Little research is needed there, since thyere arent trying to report true news, but simply make Bush and republicans look good at all costs.
Lots of false information there.
Persiandiva -- I cant believe youre fooled into thinking FOX is unbiased and well informed.
I have some prime property in the middle of the desert I want to sell you.
Diva -- have you ever watched any other news channel?
If so, youd realize just how lopsided FOX is.
Can you believe Bush wants 8000 more troops, now.
Yahoo main page, has article.
Bush is that relative that already owes you money, and you know hes never going to pay, but still has the cajones to ask you to lend him more.
The sad thing is, hes asking for more american lives to be killed or wounded.

It doesn't matter whose ratings are higher; that doesn't make it more correct. TV news isn't about facts, it's about shock value. That's why people watch it, instead of reading the newspaper. People love a good slandering of a politician, or a nice big insult towards the GOP. So I would say that neither station is more correct; they both have some sort of bias.

Fox news are masters of deception. CNN is more realistic, like the special they had on scandelous car insurance companies. Fox news supports those scandelous companies. I even heard hannity,for the second a week , i watch it,And he said" Brandi shouldnt get criminal charges against her, it should be up to the insurance company to handle it".Car insurance companies are scandelous and dont want to pay victims a dime.They raise the rates of the criminals they represent,but yet dont want to compensate the victims that suffer severe, lifelong injuries. And in Brandis' case the victim passed away. Let the insurance deal with it though......right.

Both have lots of facts about Anna Nicole or celebrities, however when I actually want to learn actual news about Iraq or Iran, etc. I usually turn on another channel or read the paper.

as far as actual NEWS... goes...they seem to be fairly equal... and I've never SEEN anything to make me think otherwise... NOR is anyone bringing up any actual POINTS that would actually back up their assertions...
if you ask me... all TV news is relatively FACTLESS... just 5 minute (at best) snippets here and there of very basic overview of what happened with little else... and many stories are just FAR to complicated to be even close to getting in any actual facts on anything in that small of a time period...
the opinion guys bring out some facts on both channels, but the bias nature of both sides facts (and the facts they conveniently leave out) are beyond ridiculous... if you look up what they are actually saying for yourself...

For Willful ignorance Fox is #1, CNN is not much good but they try a little, R.I.F. reading is fundamental if you want to know whats happening without spin. But many of you like spin it makes you feel comfortable.
