I think a more interesting poll question would be, "Do you primarily get your political news from a single news channel, or do you watch several in roughly equal proportion"?
Where I live, there is no Fox News (we had "Fox News International" for about 6 months, before somebody somewhere pulled the plug on that endeavor), but we do have CNN International and BBC World, neither of which I watch except during a big election, or when I find out about things like the Ft. Hood shooting, or a natural disaster or something.
I get some of my political news from the Daily Show, which is hilarious, but mostly I read. The Economist, major newspapers, and sometimes the English-language newspapers and TV where I live. The people here don't have any bias toward any political party in the U.S. (most of them couldn't name a political party in the U.S.), so they just straight-up report on the news.
Everytime I'm back in the U.S., and i flip on any cable news, I'm blown away at how totally opinionated and biased every single channel is, Fox, CNN, MSNBC, all of them. Fox - to me - seems worse, with shows like, "Hannity" (who apparently no longer bothers with "Holmes"), although that bleach-blonde crying guy, Glen Beck, is hilarious. Is that guy for real, or is he playing a clown for money? Either way, he's a total riot. Sadly, he's not on any channel here, so I only see some of his occasional bits on YouTube, lol. He could seriously be in the circus.
