) and must say that most US press is quite right wing. Claiming CNN is left wing is a joke to me.

Nothing new here, been going on in Corporate and Government circles/agencies for years and probably always will, HP just got caught.
I find it hillarious how upset people get over this stuff. 99% of these same folks think nothing of chatting away on a cordless or cell phone that can be monitored (very hard to detect passive monitoring) by all their neighbors, run open and unencrypted wifi at their homes, think nothing of the privacy issues of using a public wifi access point (unencrypted of course), will give out tons of unneccessary info to get a product or service, and so on. Little less emotion and a bit more balanced thinking would do the world a lot of good.
Now onto the comments
"CNN et al. are much more moderate and are willing to say good and bad things about both parties."
"Not that CNN couldn't use a lot of work (as it has a definite right wing bias as well)"
I laughed so hard I nearly wet myself after reading that! Who do you think your kidding, even the polls don't agree with that. CNN et all is about as liberal of a network as they come. Hey, real journalism is dead in this world anymore, they all have a slant one way or the other, some more than others. With the majority of the media in the US leanin strongly left, it's actually a good thing that FOX leans right, helps balance things out...especially since FOX is eating CNN's lunch anymore in the ratings.
Maybe there's a reason folks are leaving CNN (et al) for FOX, they're tired of the liberal propaganda/spin spewing strongly (and obviously) left leaning mainstream media in this country and they're looking for the other side of the story, even if it does have a conservative edge to it. A trend that isn't going to change anytime soon as people are fed up with CNN, LA Times, NY Times, ABC, CBS, NBC, and so on. The liberal media will never learn as they can't admit that they even have the problem, so FOX will continue to eat their lunch for them.
Just my two cents worth.
