Well there's only so far you can go and still fool people into thinking you're unbiased. Fox couldn't come out and claim Bush had a 75% approval rating because people would figure it out and even the most neo of the neocons would stop listening to them. What they do instead is to spin the news in various ways to try and stack the deck against the left.
For example Cavuto only asks softball questions of republicans, while democrats get grilled. I use him as an example because he's one of Fox's worst actors - - he really can't make it seem like he's balanced, even to conservative friends of mine.
