A lot of times I use the smell test. Also search on scholar.google.com and look at the survey studies. Here are a few I found using a quick search on fox news bias:

Our results suggest that in an increasingly fragmented media marketplace, individuals not only distinguish between media outlets but, more importantly, outlet brand names, and the reputations they carry, function as heuristics, heavily influencing perceptions of bias in content. As a result, individuals sometimes create bias, even where none exists. -- In other words if you think that Fox News is biased then you will find bias. If you think its not biased then you'll think its Fair and Balanced. >so i hear the right wing saying cnn is bs >i hear the left wing saying fox is bs > >so, who is the real deal? bbc? > >im lost and still a cnn fan! > >tw > >On Wed, May 14, 2008 at 1:21 PM, Larry Lyons <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:260129 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
