Evidence of what?
Spoiled, I'm still not sure what you're looking for evidence of. That Fox is fair and balanced? That it's not liberal?

Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Kerry. Vote for Kerry! He raised a ton of money - which means people love him, as opposed to when Bush raised all that money and we accused him of being in bed with Big Business. Vote for Kerry! Bush wants a list of churches for some sinister reason.

Democrats are HOT! Kerry, Kerry, Kerry. Bill Clinton, Bill Clinton. And Michael Moore is worthy of being on our front cover because we think he has something important to say! And Bill Clinton is right next to Thomas Jefferson because we're hoping you will equate the two! George Bush who?

Now for something different:

Good Republicans. Good Democrats. Bad Republicans. Bad Democrats.

Not necessarily. Remember that Gore was a semi-incumbent, therefore worthy of more press. Plus Gore did a lot more "interesting" things during the campaign than Bush did. And finally, what the media DOESN'T report is as important as what it DOES report.
And I notice you have no comment on my links to various news sites.
Fox News has proved that people will tune in for the good news when it comes to our country and our government. Let me also say that these networks didn't seem to want to peddle bad news so much when Clinton was in office.

tune into Fox? Hmmmm?
I do. I watch Fox more often than not in order to hear the conservative spin on things. I also get the Weekly Standard and World magazine at my house so I can read things coming from the right. We all need to realize that we have to read what the other side is saying so that we can develop an understanding of the other side and learn something. We cannnot learn from hearing the echo of our own voices.
Good! Then you're in a primo position to tell us what, exactly, makes Fox such a conservative news channel.
Enlighten me because I don't see it.
Is your name rraley?
I think that you and me should get together and watch FOX for one afternoon during which I can show to you all the instances of the conservative bent that it displays.
As for more easily conveyed instances of the network's conservatism...there are three prominent people on that network that have shows: Bill O'Reily, Neil Cavuoto (sp?), and Brit Hume. O'Reily is more or less a conservative (yes there are times when he is liberal such as drug laws, but he is definitely right of center). Cavuoto is an economic conservative (as are most Wall Street junkies) and Brit Hume is a widely regarded conservative columnist and commentator (he was on the 1988 debate panel as a conservative). Furthermore, the network is owned by Murdoch - a prominent GOP donor. When there are panels they do usually contain a liberal, but they more often than not have two conservatives. And the liberals that they do have on their network are not as near as prominent as liberals on other networks. This all just seems to say to me: were right of center. I mean that is not a problem...CNN makes up for it on the left.

It's 'enlightenment day'
So guess what? Over here, FOX and the nuances. Yes they're there.
Over 'heah; The 'nuances' of CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, the Washington Post, the New York Times, the LA Times, the...
FOX irks the left so much because it is a de facto mirror, evidence, for the CRYSTAL clear bias of the last 25 or so years of liberal leanings in the major media in this country.
FOX, the Washington Times and Limbaugh and others are the simple result of extended, long term bias EVERYWHERE else; the opposite reaction.
The bias MADE the market.
PS: Add the WSJ to your list along with The National Review.
