MSNBC is by far the most opinionated news channel. Yet SOME people actually think its the best source. Despite the fact even liberal studies admit its the most biased and least diverse.
CNN is more news based, but has horrible anchors.
Fox has an equal amount of actual news, and opinionated news later with a wider range of political opinions. Hence the reason it does the best, and has the most diverse political viewership.
Its not even debatable. Its facts. Wise up.

Might want to recheck your sources on those facts. Saw this covered in an article last week.
While you nailed it on MSNBC and CNN, Fox's programming schedule does not coincide with their vieweship. Over 70% of their viewership is tuned in for the Opinion pieces.
Admittedly, the percentage of Opinion Pieces to News ratio is higher on GFY.
Now, here's some news regarding Internet Piracy.
Judge: Aggregator of AP news can't have free ride
Quote:
U.S. District Judge Denise Cote rejected Meltwater's claims that its use of Web stories drawn from a scan of 162,000 news websites from more than 190 countries was a fair use of copyright-protected material.
"Through its use of AP content and refusal to pay a licensing fee, Meltwater has obtained an unfair commercial advantage in the marketplace and directly harmed the creator of expressive content protected by the Copyright Act," Cote said.
She said in a ruling released to lawyers in the case Wednesday and to the public on Thursday that investigating and writing about newsworthy events worldwide was expensive and enforcement of the copyright laws permits the AP to earn revenue to fund it.
"Permitting Meltwater to take the fruit of AP's labor for its own profit, without compensating AP, injures AP's ability to perform this essential function of democracy," Cote wrote.
