I remember when CNN was fair and unbiased, but those days have long past.  I think they sensationalize everything they report on. 

The only thing I watch on MSNBC is Morning Joe, which is probably pretty balanced between Republican Joe Scarborough and Democrat Mika Brezinski (not sure about spelling).  They usually have a mix of guests from both persuations. It may not be conservative enough for some, but it works fine for me, because I'm likely not conservative enough for some conservatives. 

Fox News used to be regarded as a Bush's mouthpiece.  The only time I watched it for any length of time was when they were reporting on Obama's 2nd win.  The reporter claimed she didn't believe it and took the camera down to the office where they crunch the numbers and had them confirm it.  Political theatre?  It sure didn't feel like the news.  I have watched them off and on over the years when Drs. would have it running in the reception area, and honestly, it seemed very biased to me.  (Now the Drs. run HGTV and I'm much happier since it gives me new rehab ideas.)

I don't think any of the news shows really do an excellent job in unbiased analysis and reporting.  Maybe it is the 24 hour news cycle, maybe because they are under pressure to fill a time slot, but every news show seems to fill time with talking heads and experts (who are these people?) and analysis and opinion, rather than just reporting on the facts of the news and letting their audience come to their own conclusions.
