I would argue that some shows are more concerned with informing as opposed to entertaining. Although to what degree those shows are concerned with accuracy is very subjective.
I for one feel that Fox News is one of the most balanced news networks I've ever come across. Perhaps it is slightly skewed to the right, but the only reason many consider it so ultra-conservative is simply because its not so ultra-liberal like every other network (i.e. CNN, MSNBC). I believe that the mere existence of a news network slightly biased to the right brings balance to a world otherwise completely outweighed to the left.
If I had to pick a "general" news network to watch, I'd choose Fox, but all I really ever want is financial news. Therefore I like CNBC. I find that it's hard to put a partisan spin on pure financial news. I'm sure there's some spin somewhere, but it has to be a minimum with this type of news.
