If some of you are news junkies, you'll notice some news programs have either a liberal bias or a conservative bias. Fox News Channel came-up with their "fair and balanced" slogan at least many times in an hour stretch, but seemed a little more conservative IMO.

So who do you think is actually the "fair and balanced" news network(s)?

PS: Keep this discussion in a civilized manner please.

I don't regularly watch TV news much these days, and I used to watch CNN. They're more leaning to the right, broadcasting the war with reporters travelling with the convoy of soldiers and 3D computer graphics like it was some f**king sporting event. And pretty much all broadcasts, even local news, is filled with bloodshed, violence, shootings, sex, celebrity divorces, regular updates on reality shows and American Idol.

Sad really, but The Daily Show is my only credible source for news on TV. That "fake news" show is pretty much, IMO, the most fair and balanced than the "real" news shows. They crack jokes at both sides of the party, although Stewart dispises Bush more.
