I'm not saying that if they really do have an equal spread of opinions then that isn't commendable, but to say that a positive amount of bias can contribute to having no bias at all is ludicrous. By virtue of the very fact you've described the lack of bias in terms of the bias present you's admitted that there is in fact a bias.
Also, from my acquantance with the channel I have yet to see anything on there I would even consider approacing the centre mark. Just this morning there was a program I caught a few minutes of remarking on how if Bush were re-elected we could all expect to get much richer! Thats not a fair and balanced opinion, its almost a party political broadcast...

Barry, I NEVER said there was not Bias, BUT bais
DOES NOT equal unfairness,
Bias is Not the opposite of fair. In Your above example you site only the show you watched, I've seen shows on Fox where they have people on telling how bad it will be if President Bush gets re-elected. Anylasis is just an opinion, good anylasis is an opinion with the facts and logic used to reach the conclusion also presented. You can decide for yourself if you agree or not. The problem I have is making statements about bias being bad, while having bias. You bet your sweet bippy I got Bias,
BUT I don't complain about others bias, I complain about the logic, reasoning, thought process or lack there of, that leads to the bias.
