Yeah, what is my definition of "is". :-)
"+" means "combined with". As I said, only watching several outlets could give you a somewhat unbiased point of view.

Like I said before - conservatives on Fox were critical of a lot of things republicans in Congress wanted to do but the conservative base didn't agree with, and they were not shy to be critical about it...has Fox been fair to Bush?..I think so...but fair doesn't mean not critical...
There has been a lot of criticism about Obama on Fox...the good thing is a lot of Obama supporters are invited to let them state the other side of the story...other channels have never done it with Bush - the republican side rarely has an opportunity to respond to the criticism there...

Sveta, i don't watch FOX or any other news organization a LOT, but it's very clear how FOX is biased..
It was great actually on Jon Stewart yesterday..
There was a pretty large gay rally in DC (70,000 people +) and FOX spent 3.5 minutes within 24 hour period covering it.
They spent more time covering some school protest.
If this is not bias i don't know what is.

Mike, I didn't say that. I did say that they serve as a source of information. And they have less BS than Fox and MSNBC.

what gay rally? I didn't hear anything about the gay rally...
I did read about it on Drudge - gays protesting Obama not paying attention to their "issue"...
Aлексей, if you support auto-bailout and you are fair, you have to give credit to Bush for doing - the republican base is not supportive of it and rightly so because it's a waste of taxpayers money - nothing will help a failing company run by the unions...

oh, I see your point - they were not covering it enough...but what's there to cover?...

.otherchannels have never done it with Bush - the republican side rarely hasan opportunity to respond to the criticism there...
So, it is not Glenn Beck, who I see on CNN from time to time? I got to check my vision... :-)

Aleksey, IMHO NPR is like the bullshit champion of the world..
besides being totally annoying and constantly asking for contributions their shows have more bias then MSNBC and FOX combined.
Sometimes when i drive long distance NPR is the only station i get and i find myself yelling at the radio "you are lying idiots!!!" :-D
Don't know about BBC, never watch.

it's a waste of taxpayers money
Ok. Let's take Flint -- a city that was defined by car industry. Plants close, people lose jobs and go on welfare. Who pays for welfare? Taxpayers? Crime goes up, property prices go down, other businesses leave the city. A very good business model.

Beck was on the main CNN, he was on their Headline news channel, I think...
Doesn't that invalidate your initial point though?
