Which of these two media outlets is more biased, or spins the conversation in their favor? I of course choose MSNBC (R). Not that FOX is much better, but its definitely less delusional than the other network.

I would say MSNBC is more biased. Hannity is the only ultra-right winger to have a show on FOX. O'Rielly is more moderate and Van Sustren her show is kinda of a combo of reporting and opinion.

I used to watch FOX all the time at night now I just don't watch it as much now. Hannity thinks the country is 1985 demography wise. He wants the Republicans to be like the Tea Party and maybe that might have worked in 1985 but not with current demographic trends. He fails to see that Hispanics are more liberal than whites.

That's actually why I chose MSNBC too. Hannity is the only real hack on Fox. MSNBC has an abundance of Obama hacks and lefties like Matthews, Maddow, Harris-Perry, O'Donnell, and last but not least Schultz. MSNBC's morning shows are actually really fair and moderate up to Alex Wagner, but then for the rest of the day its shows are just left-wing propaganda. Fox is more consistently biased (a little bit less so in the morning shows) but the only place where it gets really bad is Hannity, and possibly Cavuto, The Five, Van Susteran, and O'Reilly being slightly up there as well.

I don't really watch "The Five" but they have Bob Beckel on whenever I watch and Beckel is a liberal guy. I think Juan Williams is on if Beckel isn't on there.

Your right about Cavuto. 

I just watch C-Span to keep up with political news and mainly I am on this site as well. At  least on C-Span on a panel a D and a R politician can sit in the same room and not call each other a name or get into a verbal brawl.

Yes, but Williams and Beckel are moderates easily, and they are outnumbered by 2 right-wingers, 1 libertarian (Gutfeld), and 1 ultra right-winger (Bolling). Obviously, if they had all 5 of them be republicans they would just be flat out hacks, so they put the most moderate democrats on their shows. MSNBC does the exact same thing with Morning Joe and The Cycle. I would actually argue they show republican guests less than Fox shows democrat guests (overall all shows).
