Wrong. There is only one biased network, Fox News. The others are all mixed bags. Fox News though actively obeys the political dictums of Rupert Murdoch and Roger Aisles, a big Bush-Cheney corporate rightwinger. Every single major anchor who opines on Fox is a hardline Bush-Cheney supporter. The only progressive is Colmes who was hired because he is geeky-looking and not at all masculine, though he tries to hold his own. I have a friend who works at Fox and he told me that the unwritten rule is that if you diss Bush-Cheney, you're gone. There is nothing even remotely similar to that at any other network. If I were you I'd stop watching Fox News. Or take anything they present as only half the story.

MSNBC cuts it right down the middle on their opinion show. In fact, I'd say they lean a little right. Joe Scarborough is a right wing nut job, who happens to be a decent commentator despite his personal beliefs. Tucker Carlson claims to be libertarian, but he always seems to buy into the Republican lies. Chris Matthews is supposedly liberal, though he supports John McCain and loves Ann Coulter. Keith Olberman is definitely to the left, is funny as Hell, and would be too irritating for your sensitivities. Fox has no one on who pretends to be left or even centrist, with the exception of Colmes. But Colmes is moderate and only there as a fall guy for Hannity.
