I have to disagree with you. Before we 'cut the cable' my wife used to watch MSNBC and last year it seemed like their nightly news hours were mostly the opinion of the show's host, couched as news.

I do agree with the way papers like the NYT has separate 'opinion' sections or labels articles as being and editor's opinion - way better than how MSNBC put forth opinion as hard news.

OP did not include MSNBC in that list. They are obviously the left equivalent of Fox News. Their opinion shows run in the prime time.

I thought that was generally known of both, but maybe it's not known on either side and people tuning in to Fox and MSNBC both think they are getting unbiased news in the evenings.

The 7-11 block on MSNBC is unabashedly opinionated. They aren't even trying to be subtle about it.
