   The Center for Media and Public Affairs at George Mason University
   released their [1]Election Study and they found something very
   interesting.

     Whoâs Fair and Balanced?: Fox News Channelâs coverage was more
     balanced toward both parties than the broadcast networks were. On
     FOX, evaluations of all Democratic candidates combined were split
     almost evenly â 51% positive vs. 49% negative, as were all
     evaluations of GOP candidates â 49% positive vs. 51% negative,
     producing a perfectly balanced 50-50 split for all candidates of
     both parties. On the three broadcast networks, opinion on
     Democratic candidates split 47% positive vs. 53% negative, while
     evaluations of Republicans were more negative â 40% positive vs.
     60% negative. For both parties combined, network evaluations were
     almost 3 to 2 negative in tone, i.e. 41% positive vs. 59% negative.
