Which Network Is The Most Biased?

Regardless of your politics, taking all their programing , news & comment shows as a whole

All government-licensed media has a pro-government bias, but BBC takes the cake.

Fox at the the top, with MSNBC close behind, and CNN a bit farther behind that.

One heavily right leaning and one heavily left leaning, both who gives nothing but token attempts at presenting the other side fairly and accurately

One moderately left leaning one that does attempt to present information in a relatively neutral way.

As a whole, MSNBC, they are most blatant about it. Fox is right there with them on the other side.

They all are biased. But the fact that there are like 3 24 hour news station and several local news, etc, the balance shifts to the left overall.

That's why it's good to check in with more than one news source. I get my online news from BBC, Fox, and New York Times online. BBC has some great international news, but is definitely a bit anti-American pro-Obama in its slant, always covering with relish any gun crimes or deficits in our healthcare system. Fox is definitely a bit tabloid, leaning to the right in their presentation and coverage, but they'll have stories and subjects that are virtually ignored by other news outlets. NY Times is left leaning, but has some very insightful coverage on many subjects.

Couldn't agree more!

(& watch some things on CSPAN to avoid all the "Talking Heads" entirely.....Make up your own mind & then watch the networks to see if you agree with any of them)

i try to avoid both of those networks for the same reason. opinion shows on both networks give me a headache and the news i can get elsewhere.
