There is a difference between News and Opinion; FOXNEWS delivers two sides of the equation; fair and balanced as they like to say, and they haven't had to retract a story.
Their opinion shows are rightward leaning.
CNN was Saddam's putrid propagandist for years as Eason Jordan admitted, and is the network is amazingly biased. CNNi is some of the most disgusting programming; it is thee anti-American network, and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
It's no wonder FOXNEWS has a larger audience than MSNBC and CNN combined; they don't come across as hating the country, and break/report news the leftward stations refuse to. They report two-sides... fair and balanced. You could say they're the WSJ of the airwaves, another publication (Murdoch owned), that is growing while others are dying.
People are willing to pay for value.

they all are biased but I agree with you. Many mainstream entertainment shows are propaganda as well.
examples
ABC's former hit show Boston Legal was an Anti Bush mouthpiece as the main character was constantly spewing garbage about the Bush administration which was "counterbalanced" by the rantings of Denny Crain (Shatner). THe clear intent of that show was to make the GOP, corporations, drug makers, gun owners look bad.
NBC's Law and Order was also well known for its leftwing bias-especially after Fred Thompson left the show. Sam Waterson is a well known lefty as was former writer and then producer Mike Chernuchian. On the other hand, some shows were conservative in nature, the most obvious being the long running Chuck Norris series-Walker-Texas Ranger but overall main stream entertainment-tends to lean leftwing in bias. Some of the major cop shows Like the CSI series featuring Gary Sinise (a Republican) or producted by JErry Bruckheimer (a McCain supporter) don't have any real lean.
