The difference between the bias of CNN versus the bias of Fox ?
CNN believes they are being unbiased and endeavors to to be unbiased. Any outright bias would be considered a negative and would likely prevent the reporter from being promoted.
Fox has a strong anti democrat (now anti Obama) bias that they fully acknowledge. It is part of Ailles stated intent. He has always been a political operative.
How can someone think that CNN is a liberal version of FOX, if the intent is not there. Is it because it's a secret ? A conspiracy ? A secret hidden from all moderates and liberals ? Only extreme right wingers can spot it ?
Ohhhhh, I get it now. I just can't see the CNN bias.
Done!

My gift to you guys, it's called the channel button.
Use it in good health, no need to thank me.

This thread wasn't about whether or not a person possesses the ability to change the channel. It's about a station that dictates the content of its employees. If a purported news station dictates content, it's not unbiased.
Faux News has admitted that much of its content is entertainment. However, to demand that the "news reporters" present material in a certain manner violates the ethics of news reporting.
Unfortunately, we're bombarded from both the right & the left with entertainment reporting on news channels. It's up to the viewer to tell the difference.
Unfortunately, some people aren't able to do so.
Done!

Or just maybe they agree with the content, but you would love to tell them can't watch it though, aye?

"SAMMON EMAIL INSTRUCTED FOX JOURNALISTS TO USE GOP TERM TO DESCRIBE "PUBLIC OPTION""
"Michael Clemente, Senior VP For News, Replied That Sammon's Third Phrasing Was "The Preferred Way To Say It, Write It, Use It.""
"Sammon Later Admitted That He Had Lied On-Air "About Whether Barack Obama Really Advocated Socialism." Speaking on a 2009 Mediterranean cruise sponsored by a right-wing college, Sammon described his attempts the previous year to link Obama to "socialism" as "mischievous speculation." Sammon acknowledged that "privately" he had believed that the socialism allegation was "rather far-fetched.""
yadda yadda yadda...
