Does anyone notice that during the day, Fox News is less biased than during prime time. That is because during the day it is a news channel and at night it's a political advocacy group. The same could be said for MSNBC.

I think a distinction should be made between journalist and talk show host. I mean, Mike Huckabee has a show on Fox; Does anyone think he is objective in his reporting? He's a politician, not a journalist, for crying out loud.

Bill O'Reilly, Rachel Maddow, Keith Olberman, and Sean Hannity are not journalist they are talk show hosts. It's like radio talk shows. Their job is not to report the news it is to try to convince you that what they say is the way to believe. And prime-time shows are for entertainment, not objective reporting.

Yes, watching some of these is like reading the editorial pages. Nothing wrong with that. They may assist you in forming opinions and on top of that they are entertaining. Furthermore they refer to real news events, so they do provide news to a certain degree. It's up to the viewer to search out other sources, do his own research, and find pure objectivity, which of course is a nothing more than a concept.
