Very true, facts are facts, however, as I think we've all adequately demonstrated in this thread, labeling someone liberal or conservative is largely a matter of perspective and opinion. So while you may be correct that Fox employs more of what you would consider to be liberal, others may consider those very same people conservatives. It's all a matter of perspective.

I guess that's really what my point is - that of perspective, which is why there's not much point in debating the issue. While you may consider American media to be left of centre, I would venture to say the majority of the rest of the western world would consider them very much to the right.

I think most people in the US and the rest of the world would agree that the US, on the whole, is more politically conservative than pretty much any other first-world country, (with the possible exception of the UK) so it stands to reason that the average American viewpoint of their media would consider it further to the left, while most of the rest of the world would consider it more to the right. Both sides can be correct - it's all a matter of perspective.
