Fox News left of CBS in Iraq coverage

[Linflas]

Fox News, widely viewed as an unabashed cheerleader for the Bush administration, was not the most positive network during those weeks of combat, according to the study. CBS's coverage of the so-called "Showdown With Saddam" was more positive than Fox's, while ABC, by a substantial margin, was the most negative on the war.

They report; you decide.

As far as the war coverage goes, I'd have to agree that Fox wasn't a full-on cheerleader.
However, the coverage of the political issues and protests involved was severely pro-war. One of the reporters claimed to have footage of a protester "attacking" her. She repeatedly poked the mic in the guy's face while he said he didn't want to talk to Fox News. Eventually, he pushed the mic away and said "Fox News sucks" or something like that.
