There are, many times guests, which you might not consider the same as hard news, because it contains more analysis

You are correct about what I consider. Any show based on a discussion group is inherently commentary. Of course there is news in it. The news item triggers the discussion and that discussion, where the participants give their takes on the news, makes the program commentary, no longer news.

What makes the difference is that Jake Tapper shows up with an immutable opinion

I rest my case.

If you wanted to see an actual example of right-leaning bias, try NewsMax

Bias is irrelevant to the matter on the table. In this discussion we're differentiating news from commentary. Bias is not a factor in that differentiation. News can be biased and still be news. (Most commonly news bias will be in the inclusion or exclusion of various news bits or in the framing of the story. Commentary is commentary.

[I did check out NewsMax a while back. Also checked out your suggestion of The Five once upon a time. I don't have the time to listen to all the chatter on commentary shows. It's not efficient. I prefer a newspaper that, according to longstanding standards, should be presenting the meat of the story in the first few paragraphs. (Likewise I almost never click on video links on this board, especially bald ones. If a poster has a point to make, let him make it. I'm not going to spend five or ten minutes listening through the setup and the small talk to try to find out what the poster had in mind.]
