that SOME programing is balanced... for the FOX viewer that means left wing... otherwise, no, not really.

That is the power of propaganda. The American CNN meant for the home market is slightly, depends on the day truly, more balanced than FOX. Both are Establishment media. MSNBC goes for the more progressive market, they are still establishment corporate media. CURRENT, now that is more to the left. Don't get me started on RT.
