Thank you so much, Karen. Your conclusion here:

It looks to me like they intentionally lean to the right to the
extent that they perceive the other networks lean to the left so that the net result is balanced.

is just what I was thinking they meant by "fair and balanced". For some reason, this seeming post hoc "balancing" is disturbing to me. I'd feel better about any bias if it were intrinsic to the production. I'm trying to figure out why this is. Perhaps because a reactionary bias can more easily be dismissed as soul-less.

I'm interested in what you said here:

the Republican bias is more conspicuous to me than the conservative bias, to the extent that those aren't the
same thing.

How do you tease out for yourself "conservatism" versus "Republicanism"? I find this enormously difficult, but you have a clearer eye than I on this.
