Jim,

ut my $0.02 says Fox
News is the only game in town for anyone looking for balanced coverage
from TV news.


Bruhaha! OMG! You guys are hilarious.


From "A Measure of Media Bias":

"Our results show a very significant liberal bias. All of the news
outlets except Fox News' Special Report received a score to the left
of the average member of Congress. Moreover, by one of our measures
all but three of these media outlets (Special Report, the Drudge
Report, and ABC's World News Tonight) were closer to the average
Democrat in Congress than to the median member of the House of
Representatives. One of our measures found that the Drudge Report is
the most centrist of all media outlets in our sample. Our other
measure found that Fox News' Special Report is the most centrist.
These findings refer strictly to the news stories of the outlets. That
is, we omitted editorials, book reviews, and letters to the editor
from our sample."

Anyone know of any studies that challenge the assertion that Fox is
centrist?
