I don't think we should pretend that our own views don't scew our perception of not only what is true, but also what is fair and balanced. I'm a liberal fellow and although NBC and CNN do seem liberal to me, I still perceive them to be a good source of news facts. ABC seems only very slightly to the left, and Fox seems so far to the right it's ridiculous. These aren't evaluations of truthiness, but of fairness. Dale obviously disagrees. The point is that no one is actually a good judge of truth *or* fairness. As for why Fox has "more" (let's say the same number of) viewers as the rest of the networks, I think you stated the reason exactly: "For years, CNN, CBS and friends was all we had then along came Fox." Conservative folks don't have any other choice, and the US seems to be pretty split in half as far as Democrats/Republicans if elections results are any indication. - Grant
