Look, if FOX News can spread as much bullshit, lies and propaganda as they do, it doesn't hurt to have a network like CNN that's at least a little more honest.
There is factual news, and there is bullshit news for the brainwashed sheep. If your a sheep, watch Fox, if you really want to know whats going on, watch CNN.
All there is to it.

Ted is no longer involved, he sold out. He took the money, and took a minority role. He was by no means an impartial source of OPINION anyways. He made it clear he was a die hard supported of the United Nations, and his marriage to Jane Fonda confirmed that he atleast saw eye to eye with here. His 100% right, but keep in mind he controls news distribution.
As for your comments on Fox, I would say the same thing about all news. People are people. All people have an ideology that they feel is just and right.... Everyone in their OWN mind feels they are doing the right thing.
Rupert Murdoch realized there was a market that was not being targeted. You know 60%+ of the USA. Look at the ratings. Are these sheep? No, they are people who were not being represented by the broadcast news and they made the choice to switch to this news network. Unfortunately the other networks realized they no longer had an audience that would listen to their broadcasts (often in disgust).
As an example Bill Moyers, from PBS, he honestly believes everything he says... but from someone who is a US citizen living outside the USA I can spot his bias in a blink of an eye. He is 100% set in his ways, and would never concede his opponent has done anything right. Is this a man you can trust for unbiased perspective??
I have watched news and news programs since I was 5 years old. It was what I did, and what I do. So since the time I remember watching news my first flashbacks are to Poland's Solidarity movement and OPEC. It progressed from there... I remember Peter Jennings' first day on the job. blah fucking blah.
In Fox New's defense I had to watch tainted news since I was a child, and the whole time I was watching it I would say, "This simply is not true". I base my OPINION on world and social events from experience, and TRUSTED sources. My views are not the same of the people around me, as I have formed my views from thousands of sources.
Before FoxNews I had these people, who I will call the meat men, deliver me a product that had been processed and ready for the simple mind to consume. The tree huggers, we will call them. Who have an agenda, as does everyone.
If you watch any of these news programs and think the concept of un-biased reporting exists you are seriously fucked in the head.
I could go for days on this and until you have an awakened and realize all the shit you have been fed for years is nothing more than that you will fight every word I say.
EVERYONE HAS A FUCKING AGENDA.
