CNN/MSNBC are no where near as biased towards the left as Fox News is biased to the right.

I think this depends on where you consider the middle to be. Lots of people think their news sources are unbiased because they agree with their sources.

I don't think anybody who's thinking critically about it thinks that their cable "news" source is "unbiased". The general dislike of Fox News for me is more about their brand of bias. At a high level, CNN seems to be "left" because they feature and highlight more stories with a natural liberal lean. Fox seems to be "right" because they take all stories (liberal, conservative, a-political) and twist them until they have a conservative lean. One is selection bias and the other is manipulation.
