I know a lot of people that swear by Fox News. They all say...Fox News is more fair and balanced..." But they really only think that because Fox News views things the way they view things. It sometimes amazes me at how some people can be completely snowed.
Here's an interesting article about media bias and I think you'll find this interesting.
The most middle of the road? The most moderate? PBS's "News Hour with Jim Lehrer," CNN's "News Night with Aaron Brown," and Good Morning America.
Just something to think about. Fox News was the most right sided. No surprise there. Just like no surprise that CBS is the most left sided news.

But Adam, the article says the "Newshour with Jim Lehrer", and "Special Report with Brit Hume" where statisically the same for centrist content. Brit Hume is definetely the flagship news report on the Fox Network.
"Five news outlets — "NewsHour With Jim Lehrer," ABC's "Good Morning America," CNN's "NewsNight With Aaron Brown," Fox News' "Special Report With Brit Hume" and the Drudge Report — were in a statistical dead heat in the race for the most centrist news outlet. Of the print media, USA Today was the most centrist.
The funny thing about people saying that Fox News is "Fair and Balanced" is that that's they're slogan. People assume they are because they tell people they are! If I called myself "Nathan Dunham: Hot and Sexy" I wouldn't expect people to suddenly considerme "Hot and Sexy". Over 60% of people interviewed in my roommate's sociology class said they like "The Opinions presented in that program"...the opinions, I want opinions with my news!
