Fox News Channel's coverage was more balanced towards both parties than the broadcast networks were...
Obamamania: Since the party conventions kicked off the final phase of the presidential campaign, comments about Senator Barack Obama on the network evening news shows have been 65% positive, compared to only 36% positive comments about Senator John McCain.
The Fox Difference: On Fox News Channel, by contrast, Obama's press has been only 28% positive during the general election, even worse than the 38% positive evaluations of McCain. Palin's coverage has been 49% positive on Fox, slightly higher on than on the three networks.
On Fox News today, host Megyn Kelly called out McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds for the campaign’s lies about Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-IL) tax proposals. “I want to hold you accountable for what McCain is doing,” said Kelly. “Has your candidate gone too far, has he stretched the truth with the voters?”
Both Clinton and Obama are self-made men in every sense of the word: brilliant politicians, sons of absent fathers and struggling mothers, beloved grandsons, survivors who soared.
These are not men to the manor born: not sons of admirals (McCain) or Senators (Gore) or diplomats (Kerry) or Presidents (Bush), but of the American dream
As a result, FOX's coverage of the two was the most balanced, with 54% positive comments about Obama and 52% positive about McCain.
Thus FOX's summer coverage of the two presumptive major party nominees was both the most balanced and the most negative of the four networks
This is your subconscious telling you that your way of thinking is flawed and you are actually listening to the truth. And your conscious mind fighting the truth.

Watching 5 minutes of Fox or CNN makes me feel anxious and nervous.

It depends on what you call fair, or, balanced.

The Fox News Haters won't accept this study. There is nothing anyone can say or do to convince them that Fox is a worthy news outlet.
I'm glad that this study was done and thanks for making the thread. I have a lot of Fox News haters that I will be sending the link to!
