re: #509 Killgore Trout
During the presidential campaign, an independent group monitored the ratio of positive to negative (slanted for and against Obama and McCain ) stories and sound bytes run by the Big Three networks, plus Fox, and Fox was found to have provided the most equally balanced coverage of any of them.

So the broadcast networks gave good marks to one candidate and bad marks to another, while Fox was tough on both—and most balanced overall.
