But that liberal bias is polluting everything.

Go to foxnews.com right now and tell me what you see.

Spence, has it ever occurred to you why Foxnews is the #1 cable channel? Because if you are liberal, every other news station, besides Foxnews, will stroke your fur. For those who don't want to get just the liberal slant on things, there is one TV station to choose from. One. Foxnews.

Foxnews is the #1 cable channel, but it's audience is a small minority of the population. Many other folks get news that is biased.

Does Foxnews have a conservative slant? Absolutely. Is it the mirror-image of MSNBC? Not even close. CNN leans further to the left than Foxnews leans to the right.

Foxnews isn't a far-right station (though it has hosts like Hannity who are). Foxnews just appears so far-right, because when everyone else is 100 miles to the left, center-right appears far to the right.
