A report released Monday by the Pew Research Center on media coverage
over the past 5 years indicates that MSNBC (with the lowest overall
budget) relies 85 percent on "opinions" by their commentators and 15
percent on actual reporting of news events.
According to the study Fox News spends 55 percent of their air time on
commentary opinions and 45 percent on reporting of actual news.
CNN was rated as being the only cable network that spent more time
reporting the news than opinion commentary.
What a surprise.

I guess the difference is that opinion on MSNBC is stated as such,
where on Fox it's unclear if it's opinion or facts. That's why
multiple studies have shown that people who watch Fox regularly are
much less well informed than any other viewing segment, including
comedy shows like Jon Stewart.
