yes, I've seen this or a similar study results before.
what it shows is not that PBS is more liberal but more correct.
big difference.

I think that since we are talking about political bias in the news, it is fair to point out that this website you linked to as an information source on political bias in news, RAZD, is sponsored by MoveOn.Org and Center for American Progress, both of which are linked to at the bottom of the Outfoxed homepage.
This affects the facts that they present how?
You are assuming that these left wing organisations are just as eggregarious in their disregard for truth in reporting as Faux News, and this is demonstrable false when you compare the beliefs of people that {watch\listen} to the various shows with the actual facts of the cases in question.
Do you think sponsoring the disemination of truth alters the truth depending on the sponsoring organisation? Certainly it colors opinions that they present, perhaps the topics covered, but facts are without poitical boundaries.
I think it makes more sense to change the channel when you hear or see commentary you don't like.
But do people who see commentary that they like know that what they are being fed is a narrow view and ignores contradictory evidence?
When half the people think WMDs were found and that there was a link between Al Quieda and Iraq -- and they watch Fox news --
Versus the population with the most accurate facts at hand -- watch\listen to pbs stations and use the internet to look at multiple sources.
Are we seeing bias being fed to the gullible an honest truth being found by those willing to look for it?

Re: What if the tables were turned?
Don't you understand that fair and balanced means that 3 reactionary comments balance 1 liberal comment, because the chances are 50:50 that the comments are correct and that leaves one incorrect reactionary comment to balance the inaccurate liberal comment.
[/sarcasm]
Enjoy.
