Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz? Politifact? That's your idea of unbiased sources?

Wow, you are amazing. You managed to go through that entire list in 2 minutes to prove each one of those lies to be wrong. I am really impressed sir, bravo.

That is one of the problems. Too much of the time our news becomes entertainment, with all the networks and cable channels focus on the same few news articles, to get ratings. When is the last time they did investigative reporting on what our government is doing, or rather not doing? most times the news will just read dictation given to it from government. When is the last time you saw a report on the poverty and homelessness in this country?

Many of you defend MSNBC.

I don't watch a lot of TV news at all but, when I do, it's likely to be Fox. Why? Because it's usually in the evenings when I'm trying to relax and it feels good to have my own views validated rather than challenged. I know it's biased though and it's far from my main news source.

OTOH, on a broader philosophical level my views don't match up with those of some conservatives. I'm more a conservative due to my assessment of reality than philosophical reasons. I also have some liberal stances. Some of the conservatives on in the evenings do say things that I disagree with sometimes. Occasionally they say things that upset me and I decide to stop watching.

Political correctness doesn't prevent lying.

Well congratulations, you now can say you know a liberal that doesn't defend MSNBC.

Fox News helps your relax in the evenings? I find that hard to believe because any time I flip past that channel it looks like a horrible disaster must have just happened that killed millions of Americans. The Fox News graphics are extremely stressful for the human brain, which is a fear tactic that they use that works really well putting their viewers in a sense of fear for the impending destruction.

of course fox news is biased to the right. anyone who thinks otherwise cannot be taken seriously.
