I do like this comment/idea though:
@milomindbender: "At the very least, the right and left punditry alike needs to have the words "this is a paid advertisement" on the screen just like we require TV infomercials to have. Better though would be for full disclosure of WHO those paid advertisers are so at least people are made aware of what sort of toxic waste they are consuming."

Lies don't balance anything out.
True.
But opinions appear to.

MSNBC really is more partisan than Fox, according to Pew study
How does Comcast allow such wretched bias in presidential coverage?

ON MSNBC, the ratio of negative to positive stories on GOP candidate Mitt Romney was 71 to 3.
and:
The ratio of negative to positive stories in Fox's coverage of President Obama was 46 to 6.
Whose is the bigger propaganda machine?

I go to the AP Wire for a lot of my news.

What troubled me this week, is Fox was going on and on about Obama and the consulate attacks -- not even covering NYC or Hurricane Sandy.

Do what I do. Turn your boob tube to anything non-news related like music or "Wipeout".

Hilarious that you take your graph from media matters, a liberal site. Fox News may favor conservatism, but they are still fair and balanced and always have a left's opinion on the issues. America would be in the dark if it weren't for Fox News. Take a look at Benghazi. The networks, CNN and MSNBC haven't covered it at all for fear of ruining their messiah's chance of getting re-elected. Fox, along with alternative news websites, have given us the truth about this major scandal that has new developments everyday. Those of you stuck with the liberal main stream media don't know the half of it. You're fed lies and you chew it up!

Do any of you remember when Fox News first started? Nobody thought they would ever make it. They would get low ratings and downhill from there. Truth is if your a Democrat you don't like Fox News. Thats fine but gone are the days of when your only choices were ABC,NBC and CBS.
Now you have many choices and that is only good. I don't have to tell you who dominates the ratings. It sure isn't MSNBC. I have always been a CNN viewer. Best political coverage hands down. The only show that I will watch on Fox News is RedEye. It's funny. Relax people,you have a choice.

They claimed lying on air was their freedom of speech and they won. This little lawsuit effectively led to the destruction of news as we know it.

You can't slam one outlet and conveniently ignore the others.
In this corner we have a right leaning news channel, doing great in the ratings.
In that corner we have CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, PBS, MSNBC, plus a few others, moderating debates and baby sitting for Obama, yet not doing so well in the ratings.
What does that tell you?
