For example, Al Franken did an "academic study" for his most recent book that "proved" that the so-called liberal media was much tougher on Al Gore than they were on GWB in their 2000 election coverage. Am I not supposed to take that with a grain of salt?

You're not even arguing the same point that I'm arguing. Like I said, I'm not arguing that other news station might not be biased -- maybe even more so than Fox. What I have an issue with is that Fox still tells its viewers that its coverage is "fair and balanced" despite the reports that keep piling up from former Fox employees that they are told to spin stories with a conservative slant. If Fox came out and said, "Hey, we're supposed to be a conservative alternative to the rest of the liberal media," I'd be totally fine with that.
I'm telling you that you have no studies sweety.
