I'm glad you have chosen to define what are conservative topics and liberal topics.

Business Week is kind of like the Conservative answer to Time Magazine. I do think that Fox has gone of the deep end when it comes to covering completely innane things -- like the damned Laci Peterson trial -- I mean seriously, WHO CARES?

I do enjoy watching a few of their shows though.

I think there is a better way to measure bias than what they chose though. Look at what stations and newspapers cover and then consider where they put it in their publications/shows. For example, the NYT has run that Abu Graib stuff on the page for the last 20-something days. That might get them liberal points.

If you've ever watched a CNN package on gay marriage, you'll note that about 75% of the story tells the story of how happy certain gay people are while there is 25% (usually at the end after the story has already made every attempt to establish this as something positive in peoples' minds) where some conservative is decrying the decay of society -- they usually drive to the nearest Christian church, get a clergyman and just go with whatever. I've seen Fox do the same thing on conservative issues.
