The news on Fox (not the other shows that are explicitly opinion shows) is slightly right of US center. Very slightly. There have ben several university studies of broadcast media, and they seem to land the major outlets similarly. Fox is slightly right, NPR is slightly left, and all the other TV/radio outlets are left of NPR. On the one I most recently recall, NPR, while left, was also closest to the center—followed by Fox, actually (Fox is considerably less "right" than CBS is "left" for example.

Just offering a reality check, though when virtually all the other media is (editorially) an echo chamber, it probably seems farther right than it actually is. Again, the actual NEWS shows, not crap like hannity, o'reiley, etc.

I don't watch Fox—or any TV news-myself, though I listen to NPR every morning.

True ennough, but the actual news segments there are few and far between. The vast majority of their programing seems to bew opinion pieces presented as fact. I am not saying others are better, mind you. I used to watch fox news when I needed a laugh.

Edit: Anyway it is not the direction of the slant that bothers me, but the fact that a channel that has ****ing news in its name does not actually deal with news.

That's not terribly fair. Try watching CNN or MSNBC(CNBC, etc) some time. Look for a NEWS show. LOL. Even "Headline News" is now rarely news. Lat time I decided to watch some TV news, I tried (unsuccessfully) to find any on ANY 24/7 "news" channel. They were all doing talk shows, the only "news" was the crawler.

So they ALL do it (cable outlets).

And those shows are opinion, plain and simple. Who exactly thinks they are "fact" and not opinion shows?

I used to sometimes watch TV news. I liked Brit Hume's news on FOx, seems much the same as any other TV news to me.

I think ALL broadcast media news suffers from the lack of a stated editorial policy. I read the NYT. I know it is leftist. It says so right on the editorial page. That allows the reader to filter the information. If you know that paper X only ever endorses a Republican for some minor office, and always goes dem on "real" elections, then you know that their news stories will also be biased in that direction (ALL news (real news) is biased, too, period).

Having a stated editorial slant is at least honest. All TV news acts as if they are unbiased, which is BS.

Links, bitte?

We don't get those channels here, no longer get fox either for that mater. Did you miss the part where i stated that I am not saying the other "news" networks are better?

No, i saw that. I was just throwing more info out there. Do TV news outlets outside the US endorse candidates as newspapers do, or do they also pretend they have no bias?

Over here they don't endorse, but they arent completely unbiased either. For propaganda purpouses parties have their own "newspapers" which only complete morons take seriously.
But since there are several parties here our society isn't ridiculously polarized and such a thing as constructive criticizm, though rare, actually exists.
