In my experience, everybody complains that the BBC is biased, which probably means they're fairly neutral.

  Do those on the right say Fox News is biased?

    Regardless of political affiliation, intelligent people realize that every source has a bias and usually an agenda. Other people think anything that they disagree with is "biased" and accept only information that confirms what they already believe. To answer your question: do those on the right say Fox News is biased? Some do, some don't.

    I'm on the right, I believe Fox is biased-right. (Of course I see a lot of left-lean in a bunch of others.)

    I do understand there are different POVs but there is also fact vs non-fact. Example with Photo: https://www.thedailybeast.com/fox-refers-to-el-salvador-guatemala-and-honduras-as-three-mexican-countries https://www.thedailybeast.com/fox-refers-to-el-salvador-guat... Fox News Headline: "Trump Cuts Aid to 3 Mexican Countries" Issue: There is only one "Mexican Country" -- Mexico. Regardless of political leaning, there is an issue with news like this. I'm right leaning on some issues and left leaning on other issues. If you want right-leaning news, The Wall Street Journal is a far better source for right leaning news. I used to subscribe to the WSJ. Now I subscribe to the Financial Times which conveniently side-steps most US politics alltogether.

      That was funny, but from the page you linked to it seems that was a bungled caption onscreen for a few seconds, hardly a "Fox News Headline" or "news".

That's not how it works. One side's accusations can be completely unfounded while the other side's aren't. See this twitter thread for the evidence and decide for yourself: https://twitter.com/docrussjackson/status/1206992886841192451 https://twitter.com/docrussjackson/status/120699288684119245...
