6. I think that if a networks states what its content will be about then it is unbias.

To say that it is just news without a theme, it might as well be 24/7 Lindsey Lohan. You know what you are getting if you watch E-tainment news. When you watch abc cbs nbc you know there will be a dog and pony show at the end of the time slot. Take Democracy Now ..."the war and peace report", might be more unbiased because it is clearly stating its purpose. FOX should start off with a statement "we are all about GOP and teabags" ...just in case any victim/viewer might think they are getting unbiased news. If Jon Stewart says he doesn't care who the stupid is and is a equal opportunity mocker then his show is unbiased ...even if the show happens to have more of the stupid on the GOP teabagger side. There's also a built in bias to all time slot controlled news programs. You can only fit so much or little news into 30 minutes. Who decides what that news is going to be? You can bet that NBC won't be having anti nuke shows or ABC having anti Mickey Mouse shows.
