3. I voted PBS, but....
The reason I did so is because PBS just has better news generally - more complete, etc.

CBS, NBC, and ABC are all pretty fair and balanced. The anchors may have personal biases, but they don't blatantly push their biases.

FOX otoh, is all about the spin. They start with the spin and change the story to fit the spin.

6. I voted PBS but even they routinely censor their stories to avoid pissing
off the corporate sponsors.
Free Speech TV, Link, BBC - how I wish they were available to all on cable, etc!!!

7. The Food Channel
Ya got your low carbs guy,

the 30 minute gal,
the all butter and cream all the time gal,
French, American, Italian et al

A regular UN of cooking

Maybe Kerry and Bush should have a cook-off....
rather be at Kerry's table for the results.

8. None of the above
They all have issues with credibility. You should have given us other selections - Like "Other" or "none of the Above." I think the closest we have to "Fair and Balanced" is CSPAN.

13. I voted for ABC because of Nightline.
I don't think there are any networks who are totaly fair, but there are several shows that are. C-Span is probably the best! But others have shows that are reasonable, like Olberman, Lou Dobbs, NewNight, Bill Moyers on PBS.

The only one that platently doesn't try is FOX.
