No, Fox has balls. It takes massive ones to blatantly lie like they do then claim to be "Fair and Balanced".

We have to go with CNN.
Fox is a news opinion channel.
CNN does not go for the hard journalism, they just let some things slide.

There is no question that Fox should be required to display some kind of disclaimer on the screen at all times. Something like "Not real news" or "For entertainment purposes only".
While CNN tilts left, they at least TRY to be objective...

The Clinton News Network is absolutely fake. Fox News is a mix of news and conservative opinion, but they do not claim that their opinion is fact, and they present both sides pretty fairly. However, since the hosts are fairly to extremely slanted one way or the other, the guests that have a different view from the host ususally gets picked on because the host is by nature in control.

Fox is opinionated news wrapped in the guise of unbiased reporting - if they keep saying it, we'll keep believing it.
CNN - sound bites with banter and some hard news - but you still have to filter it with common sense and add to it by reading a couple of good newspapers where you can take time to digest the news.
I like the Weather Channel.

CNN -- otherwise known as the Clinton News Network. I don't watch it anymore because I got really, really burned out on softball questions. But I understand that they are not permitting the use of the word "terrorist" in their coverage.
Fox is not perfect, by any means, but it sure does leave all the others in the dust.

The Most Biased Name in News
Fox News Channel's extraordinary right-wing tilt
By Seth Ackerman
"I challenge anybody to show me an example of bias in Fox News Channel."--Rupert Murdoch (Salon, 3/1/01)
Years ago, Republican party chair Rich Bond explained that conservatives' frequent denunciations of "liberal bias" in the media were part of "a strategy" (Washington Post, 8/20/92). Comparing journalists to referees in a sports match, Bond explained: "If you watch any great coach, what they try to do is 'work the refs.' Maybe the ref will cut you a little slack next time."
But when Fox News Channel, Rupert Murdoch's 24-hour cable network, debuted in 1996, a curious thing happened: Instead of denouncing it, conservative politicians and activists lavished praise on the network. "If it hadn't been for Fox, I don't know what I'd have done for the news," Trent Lott gushed after the Florida election recount (Washington Post, 2/5/01). George W. Bush extolled Fox News Channel anchor Tony Snow--a former speechwriter for Bush's father--and his "impressive transition to journalism" in a specially taped April 2001 tribute to Snow's Sunday-morning show on its five-year anniversary (Washington Post, 5/7/01). The right-wing Heritage Foundation had to warn its staffers not to watch so much Fox News on their computers, because it was causing the think tank's system to crash.
When it comes to Fox News Channel, conservatives don't feel the need to "work the ref." The ref is already on their side. Since its 1996 launch, Fox has become a central hub of the conservative movement's well-oiled media machine. Together with the GOP organization and its satellite think tanks and advocacy groups, this network of fiercely partisan outlets--such as the Washington Times, the Wall Street Journal editorial page and conservative talk-radio shows like Rush Limbaugh's--forms a highly effective right-wing echo chamber where GOP-friendly news stories can be promoted, repeated and amplified. Fox knows how to play this game better than anyone.
Yet, at the same time, the network bristles at the slightest suggestion of a conservative tilt. In fact, wrapping itself in slogans like "Fair and balanced" and "We report, you decide," Fox argues precisely the opposite: Far from being a biased network, Fox argues, it is the only unbiased network. So far, Fox's strategy of aggressive denial has worked surprisingly well; faced with its unblinking refusal to admit any conservative tilt at all, some commentators have simply acquiesced to the network's own self-assessment. FAIR has decided to take a closer look.
"Coming next, drug addicted pregnant women no longer have anything to fear from the authorities thanks to the Supreme Court. Both sides on this in a moment."--Bill O'Reilly (O'Reilly Factor, 3/23/01)

Classic CNN Bias
CNN mentions the name, age and hometown of the suicide bomber -- but not of the Jewish victims.
Dear HonestReporting Member,
Palestinian terrorist attacks against Israel are striking so frequently that their "news cycle" is over within hours. New stories of terrorist outrages push "old news" off the screen.
Under these circumstances, HonestReporting recommends that members mobilize, monitor, and respond to media bias IMMEDIATELY, without waiting for our recommendations -- as we know many of you already do.
On Saturday night, February 16, a Palestinian terrorist attacked Israeli teenagers sitting at a pizzeria in the town of Karnei Shomron. The suicide bomber killed Keren Shatsky and Nehemia Amar, both 15 years old. Several other teens, hit by flying nails placed in the bomb, remain in very critical condition.
CNN's website coverage, however, curtly mentioned the "killing of two Israelis" -- failing to reveal the Israeli victims' names, or the fact that they were teenagers. Furthermore, a large percentage of CNN's audience is American, yet CNN did not report that Shatsky was a U.S. citizen.
On the other hand, CNN did find it important to report the bomber's name, age and hometown: "20-year-old Sadek Abdel Hafez... from Qalqilya."

When Fox news makes a claim they usually have both Dem's and Con's on air to make their point.
I've never seen that on CNN.
