well let's see, when I watch fox news and they report the news, I don't see
any opinions going on.  when I watch opinion shows, they have people on
both sides, for example:

Hannity & Combs - one is left and one is right, and they always have
balanced quests
Special Report and Fox News Sunday - a person from the right, the left and
one from the middle, sometimes one or two more, and a moderator
Bill O'Reilly - he's pretty much middle of the road, whatever you think of
his style
On The Record - a host that covers news stories, whatever the type of story
if it is political or legal, they have people from both sides of the equation


You *think* Fox News is right leaning because it is about as objective as
I've ever seen in the news, the problem is that you are used to incredibly
liberal based news, so something in the middle looks like it is left
leaning.  I remember when I noticed all by myself that CNN had a liberal
bias, it was the 1992 presidential election.  My wife and I are watching
the conventions and it suddenly dawned on us that they were rooting for
Clinton, it was so obvious it was pathetic.

Here's a simple test of bias.  You will notice that liberal news will refer
to Rush Limbaugh as "the conservative radio talk show host" but refer to Al
Franken as "comedian and satirist" as opposed to "Liberal activist", or
Michale Moore as a "filmaker" instead of "raging loon".
