Pretty much all of them have some form of an “expressed commitment to political neutrality”, even Fox News did until fairly recently..

Of course, whether there is any substantive backing to the expressed commitment is a whole different question.

Fairly recently? 1996?

They dropped “fair and balanced” last year, IIRC.

Are you suggesting Fox was committed to neutrality up until last year?

Do you mean an actual commitment or an expressed commitment? They had the latter, but very much not the former, to the extent that the latter had been a source of jokes for many years.
