Any Americans about?

[Anotherducker]

Could you explain the way the news channels work (politically) in the USA?

Are some channels strongly pro Democrats/Republican. If I watch them there seems to be a lot of opinions and dramatic music rather than the more fact based neutral opinions you see more often on UK news channels.

I’m assuming it boils down to financial support?

The various news channels claim to report without bias but that's laughable! CNN,FOX,MSNBC,PBS all have their own agendas. I have yet to find a single news channel or newspaper without their own slant.

Fox is pro republican, MSNBC is democrat, many of the others lean democrat also including the Washington Post, NY times and, to maybe a lesser extent, CNN.
