CNN and Fox often take very different positions. Fox is one of the few mainstream media institutions that isn't dominated by liberals.

CNN is about the furthest left of the major news networks. They never used to be in the beginning, but that is the direction they steered towards after the beginning of Desert Shield/Storm.\n\nAll you have to do is look into the wording of the lead-ins. Anything dealing with a republican or the current administration will most always have a negative spin on it. Minor parts of the issue will be put in a greater context as long as it helps pain that negative view. Positive news about the reps or the administration are burreid down towards the end of the program or the end of the 1/2hour segment, and usually kept very short and without detail.\n\nFox is pretty middle of the road when it comes to financial issues. Leans a bit to the right when it comes to the politics. But it is good to have the opposing view out there when the ones like CNN, ABC, and CBS constantly spew the leftist agenda. I would like a true unbiassed new outlet though. I just think it will be tough to ever see one.

The simple answer is No.\n\nSeveral groups have done content analysis of the content in fox news reports and have found a right wing bias.

It appears all 24 hour news programs focus on sensationalist stories, not only the "right-wing" ones.  Even left wing broadcasts such as CNN and MSNBC focus on the sensationalist stories.  They often cover the same stories at the same time even, and the only difference remaining would be the commentators.  Its all about the ratings.  And sensationalist stories get people watching, which makes the stations money, which is all any of them really care about in the first place

One fairly conservative network(Fox) amid all the other liberal networks. Give it a rest.

CNN appears to be more in-depth and faster to cover the major events.  Their coverage of 9/11, Florida hurricanes and Katrina was very well covered. NBC would be a close second for reliable coverage. FOX is getting better. CBS and ABC are to far behind.

I think that each side responds to the other...but who is to say who started it?  Surely it has been going on long before Hannity and Moore...et al.  You think Rush and the like are "out there"...I can only speak about Rush, he is the only one I listen to with any regularity..and even him is about twice a month or so...but he substantiates what he says, and backs it up with fact..and if you look it up, you find he is correct....\nI think it goes too far most of the time, and people end up bickering about superficial things, and lose sight of the ultimate goal, to make this country the best it can...and to do this requires more than one side...more than one viewpoint.

I guess we can only trust FOX, who bring us the right side of the story, AND the republican side of the story.\n:/

There's at least one American out here who agrees with you.  Such a sad state of affairs.  And the worst thing about it is that people can't see it.  Doesn't anybody look beyond the nice news stories the Republican-owned press keeps putting out?  For instance, http://www.democracynow.org (an independent media outlet) has a daily M-F show that goes beneath the surface on what's happening in the US and in other parts of the world.  We're conditioned to believe our beloved country can do no wrong... but it's time to grow up and open our eyes.

I hope not Because it is not meant to open it is meant to silence conservative voices. Remember PBS and NPR say they are open and balanced (the example of fairness) and if your conservative you will never hear anything conservative on it.\n\nThat is why News talk radio evolved. When people heard their neighbors of all backgrounds calling in and suddenly discovered there were others out there that agreed with them and their views. They discovered they were not crazy and alone. They heard a vast range of ideas and could call in and give theirs too. FOX News became the largest network, larger than CNN and MSNBC combined, in 10 short years. Before that there was only liberal biased broadcasts just repeating the same mantras on all channels ABC, NBC, ABC, PBS, and CNN. That was what was considered fair and balanced until FOX and Talk radio showed up. Suddenly we now need fairness as the old guys loose market share to the new guys.\nActually I switched to FOX because I noticed I was only hearing one side on CNN and on FOX I heard that and the another side too, honestly given. I compared the two for sometime before I actually switched permanently to FOX which I found more fair in its reporting. The Left hates talk radio as they find their ideas challenged and can`t defend themselves in an open honest forum. That is why Air America went belly up, they couldn`t discuss and reverted to hate speak 24 hours a day.\n\nLet the market decide.\nGood question.

Kathryn its going to be really hard because such protets will get very little public attention.  You almost have to start one.  I have been wondering the same thing.  You  might want to click into the web sites of the right wing type talk show hosts, Hannity, Rush, Savage and see if there are any notes on the subject.  Good luck
