IF (a big if) I watch news on tv, I tend to match opposites together–left wing channel vs. right wing channel. That means I hear both sides in all their biased glory and can make up my own mind.
Just watch Fox News. It is nothing but left wingers arguing against right wingers. (Some people don’t know about the left wingers on Fox.)
I have a friend who is very conservative, and that is his argument against Fox. He would rather hear an intelligent debate then a fight. So he does like BBC news instead. He recognizes their liberal bias, but finds they do allow people to voice their opinions in a more intelligent way.

That’s an understatement if ever there was one. Fox News may well give both sides a voice (though its bias is abundantly clear), but it’s pundits, unemployed political operatives and authors of poorly-written polemics screaming invective at each other. Just what every voter needs to be informed on the issues.
