Ok, now I see what you were getting at.
I will say that much of the foreign media of any substance/recognition still takes a liberal and/or leftist stance.
Whether it be the AP, Reuters, Guardian, etc.
Every time there is a Republican president elected, much of the global/European media/press has assailed Americans as stupid for electing Reagan, Bush, etc.
So while the vitriol against Bush is more obvious and passionate, they have been like that for as long as I can remember going back to the 80's.
As to that certain station you reference, rest assured you see a wide variety of opinion and may Democrats being able to speak on issues that you do not see from the MSM in most cases.
I have seen interviews with Democrats saying Fox News has given them a platform to express their viewpoint without being censored or restricted.
I think what happens with too many people is equating the conservative talking heads on the opinion shows (i.e. Hannity) with the news division.
