O'Reilly, Gibson, Colmes, to name a few.
No wonder conservatives hate liberals so much. There is too much opinion on Fox News, that's for sure.

They are "Talk and Entertainment" shows, NOT news!

Sorry to burst your bubble first answerer, but you'd be hard pressed to find a liberal talk show.

If you actually watched CNN, you'd find such a lack of opinion. You'd be very surprised.

Mr. Conservative, CNN does NOT ignore the lack of leadership in Congress. They expose democrats and republicans.

All news networks are businesses.
They primarily care about advertising revenue.
They do not really care about left vs right. They pick their target demographic and "sell" news to them so that they can sell advertising.
In this respect, differing news agencies have different advertisers. The journalists have no editorial control.
They just read what is put in front of them.
Our job as news consumers is to try to sift through a variety of sources, not just taking one point of view as gospel, in order to form our own opinions of what is actually fair and balanced.

I'm going to give you an answer without giving an opinion on which I think is best. Fox news feels that the media is overwhemingly slanted to the left (liberal), so they offer a converse to that: conservative views and opinions. They DO report from a liberal angle at times (fair and balanced), but their owner (Rupert Murdoch) and their staff are decidedly conservative. I suggest you watch all news programs, MSNBC, CNN, and Fox to get the entire picture.

Obviously you have never watched Fox news. All that is ever on that network is both conservatives and liberals debating 24/7 unlike all of the other networks where it is liberals spouting biased opinions and outright lies 24/7.
I wish it was the way you described it, conservative opinion only. Frankly I'm sick of hearing the liberal view point on every issue on Fox. Libs have way too much media as it is.
Of course it is the only network where conservatives and liberals debate though.

What about all the trash in the NYT and on CNN and MSNBC etc. The media slants are plain and simple. Naturally the liberals ignore the abuses of their friends and attempt to make the conservatives look bad. How can CNN consider wasting time filming Kennedy using a photo op with children to push for SHIP program approval. The dummycrats have stooped to new lows in trying to use Children to get media attention. The lack of leadership in Congress is ignored by CNN and the liberals and why they highlight Bush's approval rating they ignore their 11% rating. What a joke most of the media is becoming.

The hard news portion of FOX network is in the crawl.
It frequently has a totally different take on the real news even as the pundits have their say. It can be quite amusing, try it sometimes as the talking heads tell us how well the war is going and the crawl lists the dead and the new attacks.

You obviously don't know what you're talking about. Alan Colmes, the third one on your list is actually quite liberal and a Democrat. I don't see a show on CNN or any of the liberal "news" networks like Hannity & Colmes where you have strong arguments from both sides.

Colmes is a liberal. You ought to watch the shows before you criticize them.

If you don't like Fox you don't have to watch it. Look around i am sure you will find a liberal "news" show to your liking.

The "fair and balanced" news laws are really strange and don't apply to certain things like news networks. Mostly it's to govern advertising time to make sure networks aren't refusing to sell time or giving free time to any candidate. I wish people would look up the word "liberal" and not just use it to describe socialists.
