What I find interesting (and others may find scary) is that Fox is the clear leader in viewers of the news networks. I think this is because there is so much left bias that everyone who was tired of that watches Fox.

And I've always viewed CBS, CNN, ABC, NBC - whichever - as the mouthpieces of the democrats.

Liberal bias of the media is a myth. All the major networks are owned by big corporations that have a vested interest in having Republicans in power.

If they were "mouthpieces for the democrats (sic)", they wouldn't be so soft on McCain and Palin.

(ETA: Also, if the major media really had a liberal bias Bush and Cheney would have been impeached years ago, and Obama would be heading to a landslide.)
