It's biased 'news' that you can't really trust. Same goes for MSNBC.

The BBC is pretty reliable, being rather centerist, I watch FOX news only to laugh at stereotypical American stupidity.

Fox is news if you count comedy sketches as news.

Anyone who finds them a viable news source and not just entertainment would have to be insane, though not necessarily completely insane, just mostly.

The comedy comes from FOX believing itself to be a viable news source and from its audience that believes them to be as well. Whenever they tried actual humor, the result was a farce better known as The Half Hour News Hour.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

This post was made prior to reading all the replies.

Fox News is this: commentary or "talk" shows in which a panel of Conservatives talk about the threat of Socialism via Obama and tax spending causes and unfailingly and enthusiastically agreeing with each other. It is nothing else other than lots of commercials and incredibly selective news reporting.

Normally, I wouldn't care less about the cretins, but the fact that it has so many thousands of viewers, and they all believe its sensationalist reporting, has triggered my "HAET TILL LEGALLY DECLARED DEAD" mode.

Being British I think that CNN is the most neutral news channel. BBC is centre-left and Sky is centre-right. Channel 4 and ITV are Leftist and Rightist respectively, and Channel 5 doesn't really do news. Of the other American channels, MSNBC and Fox are Leftist and Rightist respectively, and I don't know too much about ABC and CBS.

CNN is just in the background these days, they are left leaning but aren't as bad as MSNBC, I can watch CNN for longer than 5 min without breaking something.

Fox News is definitely Infotainment, light on the info side.

I can't even watch their morning show, its unbelievably brainless.

In the US the may be left-leaning. In the UK they are placed nicely in the centre.
