I subscribe to Verizon Fios which provides Idiot Box services.. The channel listings for the news was grouped together with random sequencing amongst the various broadcasters (CNN, FOX, BBC, etc..) No politics involved.
I like to consider myself balanced as I get my news from the left, right and everything in between. I filter out the bullshit and form my opinion based on the various sources..
Well, Verizon changed the channel assignments and buried Fox news in the news listings between CSPAN and the Weather Channel. You tell me if it's political bias. I believe it's bias

Bias? Prolly. But Fox viewers are smart enough to find the station at it's new number, and it will still get more viewers than the others combined.
