Actually, according to the only study done by Stanford and NORC at the University of Chicago all news sources are biased but it is Fox that is the least biased.

Next time don't make such accusations/lies.

Less biased based on the standard of the American public and media...

Testing stanards as median would be vastly different here in Canada - afterall the CBC & BBS pretty much measure as the median in most media studies (depending on the year)... and FOX from what I've seen would fall pretty far to the right of that.

Which media studies?

But you are right that it is an American bias measure.

Well obviously FOX will be more bias if we Canadians are so liberal... our median will be skewed to the left for the American studies.

Every year the CRTC does a measure of the bias and objectivity of each broadcast outlet... as well as the numerous shows that conduct monthly analysis of media coverage broadcast on public channels (TVO here) - think PBS/FOX/CNN/CBS getting together to do self critique and analysis of each other; chaired by a different Professor of Journalism or Media Studies - actually very interesting and informative when they get into what people pick-up subconsiously from graphics, body language, wording of stories, and even what place the story takes in the schedule.

I'll see if I can track down the CRTC reports online... or at least the Media analysis programs (some might even be available online).
