Major? Yes. There are some great news outlets though:

NPR is pretty non biased, they have a liberal undertone but the reporting is awesome.

al jazeera is great for things most American outlets won't/can't report on

Democracy Now is definitely left leaning but they report on things no one else will period.
Yeah, NPR's actual reporting is pretty faultless - but the things they choose to report on generally bug me. They can be fairly irrelevant.

I use Fox News the way I use a whole host of outlets - You can use many of them to create kind of a composite view of some political issue. Fox has a few decent interviewers, and even though I disagree with him a lot, Krauthammer is enjoyable to listen to.

Al-Jazeera is one of the worst for inherent bias, but I do enjoy some of the things they choose to cover, so I def agree there [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I just have trouble listening to people who say "Fox News sucks anyone who watches them or reads their website is automatically an idiot"... I've evaluated their reporting alongside cbs/abc/etc for some time, and It's usually about the same.

Yeah, Foxnews has published at least one web article from the Onion - that's why I don't put my trust in any one source [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
