Which is more Biased, Fox News or CNN?

Fox News.

But I think the only real comparison is Fox News or MSNBC.

Because they're both fanboys. It's just that one admits it, while the other pretends they're fair and balanced.

well i watch CNN b/c they are the most moderate imo (MSNBC anyone)NYiVtec

I've never really thought of CNN as that liberal... or in other words, CNN isn't as liberal as Fox News is conservative.Hey_Jay

^ This.

this is a silly question to ask, because people are going to give a biased answer....if you ask a conservative, then CNN is more biased...and on the flip side, a liberal will tell you Fox News is biased...the sad truth is that both are biased, because television mainstream news isn't about information anymore...it's about pandering to the crowd in order to obtain advertising dollars.johnnyv2003

Why can't all people have this much common sense?

I think there is no one network that is more biased than the other, they're all biased, but that's their job. Be biased and make stuff out to be more of an issue than it really is. That kind of stuff is what people like to see. If these networks didn't add a little something to each story to "spice" it up a little bit, then all of those political shows wouldn't be as appealing or as interesting to watch to the general public._Brennan_

I really hope that in years to come, maybe a decade or even longer that the internet overtakes television in terms of where people go for information. Even though there are definitely biased places to go, the arena is so vast that you can find unbiased, information at its most pure. You have to know where to look mind you, but it beats the limited resources that the TV provides.

C-SPAN gets a free pass from this though, because that's political news at its more pure form. The problem is that it's not as entertaining as watching Bill O' Reilly or Keith Olbermann, or Wolf Blitzer in terms of getting your "information"

Foxnews is the Ying or is it yang of CNN.

Mess-N-BC is crazy out there now with Obby and Sarah on the ticket.

Get it right.

We all know that Fox News leans more conservative and CNN leans more liberal. Throw away your party and your beliefs for a minute and vote on which you think is truly more biased.honkyjoe

I agree with you completely.

Yeah sure, CNN might lean liberal.

But Fox News has fallen so far to the right that even Nixon wouldn't tune in.

Like Dreams said though, MSNBC is moreso the equivalent.

Saying Fox News is a far right channel proves that you have never watchted the channel and that you are basing your assessment of Fox News on other sources. I'll admit that it leans to the right a bit, but MSNBC is so far to the left that it is a joke. And for the record, I watch MSNBC far more often than I watch Fox News.

I find Fox News and MSNBC to be almost equally ridiculous.

CNN is boring as hell so I voted for that.limpbizkit818

Not far right? Have you seen the cell phone voting results after the recent debates? McCain wins by a landslide, it just goes to show how bias the viewing population are for fox.. This isn't to say Obama should have won, but every person agrees it was at best a tie and at worse for McCain, Obama won.. This was the common view on the majority of debating experts.. Now to see McCain win on those votes with 80% and Obama some 11% raises a eyebrow.

I really don't see why CNN has any votes so far, weird.

I mean every show has bias, and im not saying Fox is some kind of extreme right show, but it is certainly farther to the right then CNN is to the left, them both being still in that middle spectrum.

In all honesty I don't catch much Fox or CNN but after the debates I flip back and forth between them and some other channels to hear what they think. All I know is that CNN has the most boring bunch of dudes I have ever seen.

And this is coming from someone who watches Bloomberg everyday :P

Fox without a doubt.

Fox, some of the stuff has just baffles me.

Obama fist bumps! hes a a Terrorist!!
