It has little to do with anything remotely resembling a 'fair and balanced' objective in any way. It's all about ratings and advertisers.

Quite true.... and this applies to ALL news outlets, all over the world. They ALL have agendas, filters and bias. Thank god we now have access, for those who take the time, to pretty much all of them, so that we can look across the spectrum and try to piece together what is actually happening.
