I am a "news junkie", I watch ( or listen ) to Fox, MSNBC, CNN, CNBC, CSPAN, and PBS. I don't watch the networks CBS, NBC or ABC during the week but I will catch their Sunday morning shows.

By my measure I find Fox and CNBC will most often have guests who either disagree with each other, disagree with the host, or where the host will ask tough questions of a guest. MSNBC is the most one sided with the exception of Morning Joe - but I do find Joe Scarborough often goes out of his way to make liberals feel good . Also, I find it humorous when CNBC hosts appear on MSNBC and they sit silently as people give misinformation about the economy or business practices in general - it seems like they have been told to tone it down for the liberal MSNBC audience. The prime time shows - I think CNN ( I don't watch Larry King) is probably the most balanced, but they are also the most boring.
