I think Fox news is not all democrat, Todd. There are quite a few conservative people on that network.

There is no such thing as a singular - reliable news source.
The only way to "atempt" to obtain a balanced point of view is to get your news from multiple news sources.
I read 3 to 5 papers everyday - I read different papers too, almost picked at random (I have access to all US papers, I'm lucky) I favor none.
Well I do pretty much hate the New York times - but it has nothing to do with politics - I hate'em because they have this huge "journalistic, literate, my words are golden" stick up thier ass. But I still read it.
I also vary my TV sources - random again.
It's the only way Todd - they all make mistakes - they all have some sort of definable agenda.
Hell - I even listen to Rush and that bitch woman Dr. Laura - just to see what the assholes might be buying into.

And Todd.
Fox is owned by Rupert Murdock - one of the most conservative men on the planet.
He is also known as a hands-on boss - his editorial bent runs deep into all his operations.

Re: And Todd.
He may very well be the most conservative man on the planet, but Fox Rochester news on Channel 19 at 10Pm dioes not show it any. Itook the last 2 weeks and put two colums pub slant dem slant and it had an 73.2397% dem slant.

Obviously Rupert can't be directly involved......
In all his many operations.

no argument from me
that the Fox News Network is the most conservative of the major news networks. But look what you are comparing it to. When any media outlet is compared to the maze of three letter acronyms including CBS, NBC, ABC and Ted Turner's brain child CNN, even a "fair and balanced" news network would be considered "conservative". Fox News at least makes some attempt to give both sides of an issue.
