Everything is biased. I don't dispute that.
I have watched Fox News. I also regularly watch it's "sister channel", Sky News, here in the UK. They're far inferior to BBC News which, incidentally, is meant to be neutral by statute. Of course it can't succeed 100%, nothing can be totally free from bias, but it does appear to do a better job than *any* of the US News Outlets. And I'm not the only one to agree - BBC News Online receives more hits than any other online news resource - a staggering statistic considering that British people make up a small minority of the market for such a resource.
What you've got to remember about Murdoch is that he is only interested in making money and gaining power. He owns the newspaper with the biggest circulation in the UK (the Sun) and it switched sides in the 1997 election when it realised that the Conservatives were going to lose.
Basically, any Murdoch media organisation is biased according to what can make him the most money. Fox News is targeted towards the right of the American political spectrum - just look at the people here who say that prefer it - and it is obviously going to be biased towards such people. Or else they wouldn't watch it!
I can't help feeling that your definition of "biased" is when you don't agree with it.
I often disagree with aspects of the BBC News output but it is far more even than most, if not all, broadcasters. All US broadcasters pay their dues to one commercial interest or another, and the result is more bias (on both sides), and it makes for very poor viewing.

I agree, Iain, BBC is by far the best.

Actually, she was elected because NY Republicans ran a nobody (Ric Lazio) against her, and yet she still only pulled 55% of NYS, a state that canvasses as 70% democratic!
Her first public statement after election: I intend to get Democrats elected to all NYS postions.
She also announced fund rasiers for this endeavor.
During the 9/11 crisis, she and the senior NY Senator, Chuck Shumer were barely seen, and only in Washington, NY Mayor Rudolph Gullianni and NYS Governer George Pataki were seen several times dailey in the disaster zone.
2 weeks ago, after the plane crash, she had the audacity to try and change US emegration laws to allow ILLEAGAL immigrants to fly to Santo Domingo and than RETURN!
A US senator acttivly avdvicated breaking federal law, in order to pander to the Hispanic voter block in NY, a very large block.
totally ignoring all the people waiting to enter the USA leagally, she tried to gain an edge by breaking the law because it suited her politcally.
Typical behaviour from the Clintons.
It's a shame the 2 party system stranges our country, I voted for neither her nor the republican clown, but for someone who addressed issues I cared about, but he was buried, just like 99% of third party candidates.
