Tigerpaw knows the media lurches left. He just has a thing about the Fox News balanced approach. Fox has nightly prime time commentary centered around confirmed right-winger Hannity with confirmed left-winger Colmes. They are bookended by closet conservative O'Reilly and closet liberal Van Susteren. Each show interviews an equal number of liberal and conservative pundits each night.

The broadcast networks get their influence from other networks.

I think an aggressive Fox News has made the networks more defensive, and no one is more sensitive to criticism than journalists. When Fox and its sister New York Post go after other news outlets for their alleged biases those news outlets often pull back. Some of this is healthy, a vital check and balance; some of it makes journalists meeker than they should be.
