The history of print is something else, but that is because print has never been "controlled" like true broadcast was (a government institution granted or revoked your license to exist). Fox NewsChannel (and CNN) does not have that regulation, because they are cable -- not onair -- media and have never been regulated to the extent of the over the air media.

I definitely agree. I think that while all of the major TV news networks have some kind of slant in one direction or another, Fox is the only one that is plagued with a substantial number of rumors that the company higher-ups demand that news items be slanted a certain way. I think the other networks just tend to attract workers who agree with their "slant" -- like justamom was saying about CNN -- and are less aggressive than Fox in regards to an "agenda."
