		<description>Very solid points.

I would have to say that the most fair of the big networks is probably CNN.  I would also agree with you that they do lean to the left.

However, as with all networks, a lot does depend on the network&#039;s overall philosophy and the reporter covering.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s clear Susan Roesgen has some bias as this clip shows, better than your two. 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WQbNaXJ8Pw
because then you&#039;re comparing canned piece to canned piece instead of comparing to a live situation. the 2 are completely different.

You&#039;re also ignoring the minute or so before your clip where she speaks to one gentleman and tries to get an answer but when the answer to &quot;Why is he a fascist&quot; is &quot;he&#039;s a fascist&quot; what can you do with that? She was a bit harsh on the guy with a kid, but again time limited situation is a tough situation when a guy won&#039;t get to the point, I&#039;ve dealt with it and know I was much more short with the interviewee than intended. 

And Lincoln wasn&#039;t exactly anti government intervention....

It&#039;s clear SHE has a bias. But I hardly think that speaks to the entire network. That&#039;s like finding a worm in one apple and burning down the whole orchard.

Meanwhile, Shepard Smith (maybe and his producer) used it as an opportunity to attack the network twice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tjk6CSjlTVs
As well as Bill O and Fox and Friends in the following week after the fact. 

So you have one attack by left wing media on the tea party. And 3 back at CNN ((Caveat this is just what I found by a reall quick &quot;susan roesgen fox&quot; and &quot;Tea Party CNN&quot; searches)) covering the core 3 day parts. So which side is showing bias as a station, which is showing the bias of the journalist?

Haven&#039;t watched CNN lately, but during the election, Larry King and Wolf Blitzer attacked Obama pretty heavily.

I would say CNN is the most fair of the 3 major 24 hour news networks, with a slight liberal bias. MSNBC is about 7/8 in the bag for Obama as Fox is against him. The exception being Joe Scarborough and the stream of conservative commentators they rotate through their shows.</description>
