Disclaimer: I lean to the right...
I think Cspan does a good job mediating unbiased news media programs such as the Washington Journal. Other than that I have seen very little unbiased news. Most Media outlets lean either to the right or to the left.

The most fair, unbiased information comes from C-Span. The guests and callers to the station do all the talking, while the moderator sits there with no expression on this face. I have yet to figure out the political leaning of any of them. We are shown everything from the far right to the far left without comment so that the viewers can make up their own minds

None. It is up to the listener to get both sides to any issue and then make your own decision based on what you think or feel. I think it is ignorant that the media has become a political tool complete with tabloid journalists and pundits who call themselves correspondents. I am irked by all media outlets that they neglect their duty to simply inform the public objectionably in the name of ratings and commercialization. I for one mostly watch CNN or headline news and sometimes listen to the FOX perspective when they are not ranting about nonsense (seriously, they seem to spend more time on fluff then on actual issues mostly because the Republicans are infighting and FOX is not sure what view to present in fear that they may alienate some of the right wing) while also getting in some internet reporting to make an informed decision.

I consider myself an independent. I lean to left on some issues and to the right on others. I like Lou Dobbs on CNN because he exposes both parties for what they are. The rest of CNN leans left. Fox News is definitely republican propaganda, but I watch it because you have to have both sides of the story in order to find the truth. I like CSPAN and foreign reporters on world editions of CNN and the like because they have no stake in American politics.
Newspapers are controlled by their owners and all have bias one way or the other. You can tell which way they lean by watching who and what they endorse on their editorial page.

Rumor has it that Fox News leans more to the right, CNN to the left, MSNBC to the left. As far as I know, most media stations lean to the left, but NBC is the most liberal because they refused to play ads on their station to support our troops, and other things too. My best bet is to just watch CSPAN, although it is pretty dull.

I think maybe newspapers because they don't always include their own opinion, but they do use negative and positive words to reflect their opinion. I think that all media resources are biased sometimes. Good question, I gave you a star.

I'd say talk radio is pretty fair. They lay out both sides of the argument and go from there.

Sky News UK is my favourite news channel - they tell the news as it is.
A long time ago I somehow thought Fox News was as 'fair and balanced' as they proclaim themselves to be - I was deluded!

you have to get both sides or extremes and create your own bias.
