From: "Rich Gauszka" 

 Fox News has an extreme conservative bias - It's the Rush Limbaugh of TV
journalism. They are the network that tried to stop Al Franken's book as
they thought they owned the words "fair and balanced" but  the
judge said Fox's case was "wholly without merit," and also said
the network was "trying to undermine the First Amendment."

All in all, the entire FOX News team, headed by one of the most influential
personalities in the Republican Party, Roger Ailes, tilts to the right

Neil Cavuto, John Gibson, Brit Hume, Bill O'Reilly, and Sean Hannity are
all conservatives, and promote a specific agenda. On the weekend, Tony Snow
hosts FOX News Sunday. Not only was Snow an aid to Richard Nixon, but he
was also the former speech writer for the first George Bush. The Beltway
Boys, a FOX News show dedicated to the latest political gossip, is hosted
by Morton Kondrake and Fred Barnes. Kondracke writes for a nonpartisan
publication named Roll Call. Barnes is a contributor to The Weekly
Standard, a self-professed conservative publication. "Dave Ings"
