Which of these is the most biased?
 
ALL news is biased, incase we have one somewhere not presented by humans.
 
First obvious questions is where is MSNBC on the poll?
 
What kind of nonsense is this? Fox News, Fox Business News or CNBC? If your goal is to waste our time you shouldn't be so obvious about your dislike for Fox.
 
What's FNB?
 
PressTV
 
Network. Not channel, network.

I would say MSNBC for sure. I don't watch FBN or CNBC so I can't rate them. But if you take in FoxNews, CNN, MSNBC and the big three over the air networks, there is no doubt about MSNBC.

LOL. why would i do that? That's like creating a poll asking who is the worst player ever and including Michael Jordan.
 
According to Pew, MSNBC presents the least factual reporting of the big three. So MSNBC is the objective answer and as such it is not up for debate.The OP knows this which is why he left off MSNBC.

And that should pretty much tell everyone how seriously to take your poll.

Fox is debatable.

It probably depends on which side of the political spectrum you are on. For the most time I switch back and forth between Fox and CNN, all depending on which station has a commercial on. I gave up watching MSNBC about a year ago. I just think Fox hides their tilt better than MSNBC does theirs. MSNBC is very blatant and overt about which why they lean. Fox not so much.
 
All of them are just as biased. News is no longer about informing the public, it's about projecting an agenda. I wouldn't trust any of those "news" sources at all.
 
I'd say that the Fox and MSNBC entertainment networks tie for the title, though I disagree with the "news network" descriptor in the OP. Both deliver confirmation bias in the form of selective coverage of current events with a specific flavor; geared towards either right or left leaning viewers.
 
You do not even dare to put in a questionnaire together FOX and MSNBС. Did the right thing. Can not be placed next to a beauty queen and ugly midget.
 
The most biased news channel is the one you never watch.

that's just plain idiotic.
 
Comparing broadcast media bias in terms of "news" is the same as attempting to compare the wetness of major bodies of water.

well wouldn't a body of water with less salt be "wetter"?:mrgreen:
 
The one that started this poll (99percenter) showed his bias by including two Fox news channels (both cable) and one mainstream media CNBC a direct shoot from old mainstream media. DUH!

Yet three pages later this even warrants discussion?

Fox cable news keeps coming in number one for a reason. Maybe it has to do with that they actually ask the hard questions of all their guests left or right instead of stroking a certain political agenda.
