Sorry, I have not noticed this. But I won't go so far as to say it's you.

As with any of these news shows, sometime all being annoying. I take everything said with a grain of salt. And if i feel i need to do my own searching on what i need to know i do. I usually make up my own mind no matter what i am being told. I look at the person on a whole, and learn everything i can about a candidate, come to my own conclusion, not the conclusion of news media.

They each in their own little way, are bias to some degree, some very bias. And i do not like that.

I agree. I think that Fox has some bias, but I don't think they cheerlead the Republicans nearly as much as MSNBC and CNN cheerlead and cover for the Democratic Party and they don't outright lie as much as the latter two outlets, man-made climate change/AGW/Climate Catastrophe/whatever else they want to call it and everything related to it (Solyndra, LightSquared, etc.) being a huge example.

Very true as a UCLA study contends....

Quote:
The liberal bias of the mainstream media tilts so far left that any outlets not in that political lane, like the Drudge Report and Fox News Channel, look far more conservative than they really are, according to a UCLA professor's new book out next month.

In a crushing body blow to the pushers of the so-called "Fox Effect," which claims the conservative media is dragging the left into the center, UCLA political science professor Tim Groseclose in Left Turn claims that "all" mainstream news outlets have a liberal bias in their reporting that makes even moderate organizations appear out of the mainstream and decidedly right-wing to news consumers who are influenced by the slant.
