I am enjoying the fact that Fox is dropping in ratings to CNN and MSNBC though. Between their blatant manipulation of reality and their pervasive culture of sexual assault, they deserve to crash and burn.

What's concerning is the AMOUNT of imbalance tilted toward the left.
The vast majority of TV news is biased left.
With approximately half of the country leaning right, I don't understand why there aren't more channels that lean right besides FOX.

Perhaps you are overestimating the amount of diehard right wingers in America?

Or maybe what you view as "leftist" is really centric?

CNN helped Hillary Clinton to cheat the debates with Bernie Sanders. When Hillary actually did so, they didn't report that either. This would have never come to light had it not been for wikileaks.

So they 100% plotted with Hillary Clinton. This proves it.

How isthis collusion acceptable? Shouldn't our media remain free, fair and unbiased?

I know some of the leftists will say what about Foxnews. Well, I believe we should hold them all to the same standard. Let's also keep in mind that Foxnews is in the distant minority here. The next example some leftists come up with would be Alex Jones which is a nut job.
"I had been a loyal CNN viewer for years"

It was called the Clinton News Network back when Bill was in office.

What took you so long to see the light?

What are you, some kind of socialist? Businesses exist to make money, by any means necessary.

Aside from that, I'm not seeing much collusion. The level of bias is also severely exaggerated. They were pro Hillary. But they also covered Donald Trump a disproportionate amount during the primaries, something that certainly helped him win (name recognition can easily translate to votes). So unless there's evidence that the DNC and CNN are actually plotting together, their bias is more than likely just the result of market research and confirmation bias. Not collusion.
"But they also covered Donald Trump a disproportionate amount during the primaries,"

85% of the coverage of Trump was NEGATIVE.

"The GOP started this nonsense"

Whenever the dems are guilty of something they blame the repubs of it.

Dude. I'm a liberal too, but CMON!!!!!!!

You're either being ignorant or just turning the other cheek if you really believe this. I mean, it's right in front of your face.

Heck, Chris Cuomo even admitted this on-air.

Oh, really? My math may not be as good as yours. Can you show me that Foxnews actually has more viewers than ABC, CBS, CNN, MSN, NBC, CNBC, etc. combined?

CNN #1 IN CABLE NEWS DURING JAMES COMEY HEARING IN DEMO – CNN Press Room - CNN.com Blogs

Also, besides Alex Jones, can you name a non-nutjob type mainstream media not biased towards the left besides Foxnews?
