News sources often aren't perfect, but Fox is in a league of its own.

By what rationale? I'd like to see you substantiate the logic that claiming "fairness and balance" somehow brings Fox to a different level of bias. Open bias does not equal to less bias.
In fact, MSNBC used to play the balanced card, as almost all media outlets do, but only recently became open about their liberal bias.
Guys like O'Reilly, Hannity and Beck are very open about their political biases.
Point here: bias distorts the truth, and almost every source is guilty of having an agenda. That's why it's important to gather as much truth and detail as possible to draw conclusions that are well informed.
