I've been watching a lot of news lately, and CNN and to some extent, MSNBC (Olberman, Mathews) are just as liberal as Fox news hosts O'Reilly and John Gibson are conservative
The news on CNN, particularly the hourly updates have just as much of a liberal slant as anything on FOX is conservative.
On CNN the other night, a reporter was doing one of those "And now we go to Jane Foley in Washington with the story" narratives, and she said sarcastically and with amazing unprofessionalism:
"And so the President says, how should I put this, that he'll be getting back to the "peoples" business."
My dad who is a moderate was watching and we both looked at each other like WTF was that... she said it with extreme sarcasm and I was amazed to hear that.
Anyway I am very glad that Fox news exists to provide a counterbalance to the liberal media stations, because they really are overt, especially lately. I wouldn't want a world w/o CNN, but most liberals probably would prefer a world without FOX... but for those who want varying opinions being expressed and different options to glean info from, it's better with both.
Fox also has the best punditry by far IMO. Mort Kondracke, Bill Kristol (OMG! NEOCON!), the lady from NPR, Charles Krauthammer, Alan Colmes (a mature liberal)
