Krazy,
I not only watch FOX News sometimes, I've met their president, I know their national Production Manager and their National Operations Manager. I visit their headquarters to say hello almost every time I'm in New York.
The fact is that they have an extremely conservative bent due to their ownership (Rupert Murdock, who wasn't even an Americqan Citizen until he had to become one in order to own "on air" broadcast properties) and the fact that Roger Ailes, the president (and a fellow Ohio University graduate) is a former media advisor for Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford with pretty close ties to the Regan Administration as well.
Their coverage is NOT ballanced -- unless you happen to be in line with them politically and don't want to see both sides of the issue. There is a definite conservative agenda -- which is OK, as long as you don't try to hide it behind the veil of "ballanced" journalism.
