Re:Evil reaches the iPad

I'm a junkie for all the news channels. I just flip through them whenever they show commercials and stop when there's an actual program on. They all have noticeable biases and lie implicitly and explicitly. There was a study over the 2008 elections that showed Fox was the most balanced when talking about the candidates of all the networks during the news coverage (study wasn't over the opinion shows). Go figure.

It seems somewhat likely that there is more data on Fox's fabrications because it's a target. That's due to its popularity, its outlier nature when compared to the bulk of other television media, and the particular type of bias it exhibits. The type of people likely to create a Youtube channel to show us Fox fabrications are unlikely to have a problem with the slant of MSNBC reporting.
