This was, of course, reported on Fox News:What I think is fair to say about Fox -- and certainly it's the way we view it -- is that it really is more a wing of the Republican Party, They take their talking points, put them on the air; take their opposition research, put them on the air. And that's fine. But let's not pretend they're a news network the way CNN is.

Interestingly enough, despite the comments being made on CNN, there is no article that I can find on cnn.com about it.
Anyways, on to the point - Is Fox News bias as Anita Dunn claims, or is Fox News simply not as in love with Obama as the other major cable news networks (CNN, MSNBC)?
Before you answer, consider the following:

Everyone says CNN is fair, but are they?
It seems pretty clear that CNN portrayed McCain in an overall negative light compared to Obama. Is that bias at work?
How about MSNBC though?
Well, that's far worse. Only 14% unfavorably coverage for Obama yet 73% unfavorable coverage for McCain? And people say Fox News is bias?
Well, is Fox News bias, let's see:
Wow, those numbers look, well, fair and balanced...
I do believe the Fox News Channel has a lot of far Right talking heads (Beck and Hanity) with no Left voice to add balance, but their actual news coverage is for the most part very good - far more "fair and balanced" then CNN or MSNBC.
