Of course there isn't a single news source that isn't biased. You can't report without showing some bias - even in terms of what you cover. Of course they are the least biased. They are not as biased as CNN and CBS or other major news media companies. They are not trying to balance against the left. They are simply news and, as shown, the least biased.
And again, while this man is president and also ran a campaign several decades ago, evidently this hasn't correlated at all with strong bias from Fox. However, CNN is more biased and also employs current Kerry advisors like Carville.

Fox is biased. I haven't tried to say it -- I have said it. Even the survey you like so much says so.
And Roger Ailes didn't work on Nixon's campaign -- He RAN it. He was the brains behind it. He has also worked on Ford's and Bush I's and I would guess every other Republican presidential campaign until joining Fox.
He was what we would all call a "high ranking Republican official." One of the very top. That's even bigger than a "political insider."
The other really important distinction is that Carville is a commentator who is only responsible for his own commentary -- Ailes has final editorial approval for the network. That is a huge difference.
But the thing that makes my mind up more than anything is that the folks I know at the Fox News network level management group don't even pretend that the network isn't far right alligned.
Now, I don't reall care all that much, except that they hide behind this "ballanced" thing -- and some people who have already pre-judged what is right and wrong actually believe it.
You might even say that IF (and I'm not granting the point) the rest of the media is really so "liberal," that FOX ballances that out. But that certainly doesn't make Fox ballanced.
Now, I'm done playing Fox games.
