Your facts are wrong, let me try to clarify for you.
Foxnews does not have the most viewers, they have the most regular viewers. Which means the same people are watching foxnews daily, there numbers aren't inpressive in terms of new or unique viewers.
As to the point of your question, I can not speak for conservatives and explain to you why they feel the media has a liberal bias. Or why liberals feel that the news has a conservative bias. I am personally sick of hearing it from both sides. Although I feel the best news sources have no bias, with most of them you are fully aware of there bias and shoudl take that bias into account while watching, reading or listening to the news.

Fox News has the most viewers BECAUSE most of the media is liberal dominated.
Conservative minded people have no other news outlet really. And the fact that Fox News has the most viewers should be a wake up call to all those other liberal media channels.

Until Fox news appeared and also talk radio became popular, the conservatives virtually had no voice. That is a fact.
ABC News political director Mark Halperin supports the concept of a liberal media bias, saying that as individuals most journalists, and news producers, hold liberal political views and that these views affect their reporting.
In a survey conducted by the American Society of Newspaper Editors in 1997, 61% of reporters stated that they were members of or shared the beliefs of the Democratic Party. Only 15% say their beliefs were best represented by the Republican Party.

Fox has the most viewers on CABLE not all networks and is one major network out of a dozen not to mention newspapers and magazines. It is ok to be a liberal. What isnt ok iks presenting liberal slanted information as being hard facts; that is what news analysis shows are for.

If indeed Fox News has the "most viewers", what does THAT tell you?

The media is a as liberal as the conservative companies that own them.
ABC = Disney Corp.
NBC = GE
CBS = Viacom

While FOX may enjoy the highest ratings, it is but one station among many. CNN, ABC, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, PBS and BBC are all liberal biased stations.

I think that it is tragic that Fox is considered news. A report was on Fox yesterday that basically said a liberals/left are pro Islamofascist. I think that people who watch Fox think the other news sources do the same to cons, but that is simply not the case.
Plus, the media is dominated by the conservative owners and editors, the only "liberal" part of the media are the relatively powerless journalists and Keith Olberman.

The domination is in quantity of broadcasters and mediums, not reach.
