Fox is no more conservatively biased than the other news channels are liberally biased. In fact, I would say less.
I can turn on Fox News at any hour of the day and find some pretty bad conservative bias within 15 minutes.
I'm not really sure the same could be said for the other cable news networks.
O'Reilly and Hannity may technically be commentary, but within the framework of the network, they're presented as news reporters.
you are so used to liberal bias in the media (or you're a biased liberal) that when you hear anything right of left (i.e. MIDDLE) you automatically think it's "conservative" when it really may be unbiased.
You could turn that around and use it in an opposite matter its circular logic.
last time i checked, NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, CNBC, Healine News, PBS all are pretty much liberally biased (and they admit it)
still waiting for some examples...
there's the dan rather thing, but it seems worth mentioning that he got fired.
edit: for the record, I wouldn't consider myself a leftists... hell, I voted for Bush. I just don't see the bias in other cable news networks like I see it in Fox.
