There is a difference between News and Opinion; FOXNEWS delivers two sides of the equation; fair and balanced as they like to say, and they haven't had to retract a story.
Their opinion shows are rightward leaning.
CNN was Saddam's putrid propagandist for years as Eason Jordan admitted, and is the network is amazingly biased. CNNi is some of the most disgusting programming; it is thee anti-American network, and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
It's no wonder FOXNEWS has a larger audience than MSNBC and CNN combined; they don't come across as hating the country, and break/report news the leftward stations refuse to. They report two-sides... fair and balanced. You could say they're the WSJ of the airwaves, another publication (Murdoch owned), that is growing while others are dying.
People are willing to pay for value.

they all are biased but I agree with you. Many mainstream entertainment shows are propaganda as well.
examples
ABC's former hit show Boston Legal was an Anti Bush mouthpiece as the main character was constantly spewing garbage about the Bush administration which was "counterbalanced" by the rantings of Denny Crain (Shatner). THe clear intent of that show was to make the GOP, corporations, drug makers, gun owners look bad.
NBC's Law and Order was also well known for its leftwing bias-especially after Fred Thompson left the show. Sam Waterson is a well known lefty as was former writer and then producer Mike Chernuchian. On the other hand, some shows were conservative in nature, the most obvious being the long running Chuck Norris series-Walker-Texas Ranger but overall main stream entertainment-tends to lean leftwing in bias. Some of the major cop shows Like the CSI series featuring Gary Sinise (a Republican) or producted by JErry Bruckheimer (a McCain supporter) don't have any real lean.
Did you just cite fictional shows to show that the news portion of networks is biased? :lol:
no but merely to show that bias tends to permeate networks from the top down

We all know FOX News leans to the right and NBC/MSNBC leans to the left. Any argument against this would definitely be a losing one. So my question is, which of the major US TV media outlets do you consider to be the least biased?
NPR would be my choice.
Perhaps NPR should adopt as a slogan "BALANCED AND FAIR". Then how dare anyone question them?
probably because tax dollars support them
probably because tax dollars support them. They are leftwing shills
I feel pretty skeptical to wards the future of the west and the world when a majority on this forum actually believes Fox News is the least biased news channel. This forum should be an average reflection of regular people in the US, is it not? Even if not, the result still scares me.
I voted CNN because that was the best choice but where is PBS?
Another lie from the right.
PBS News tends to be "on one side", but they do not lie.
PBS and NPR were left off the list because they are partially funded by the government. Hopefully, this will change very soon.
Being a person that watches PBS (that will actually look at both sides of the issue in far greater detail) I think this needs to be changed. This is like keeping C-SPAN off this list as well because it is funded by cable networks.
It SEEMS that all the conservatives picked Fox News. Hmmmmmm...... :roll:
The question is NOT what news channel you watch the most.... but the one that is LEAST biased. :roll:
