Statistically, actually, Fox isn't biased towards Republicans. In 2004 in fact Fox still tilted slightly left based on the ratio of positive/negative stories dealing with Bush and Kerry.

However, CNN and CBS were in the 3:1- 4:1 range, so in contrast certainly Fox looks conservative.

I can't find the one I'm thinking of, which had the data very nicely graphed, but here's a related study:

http://www.journalism.org/resources/research/reports/debateeffect/positive%20versus%20negative.asp

You have to look at the .pdf to get the whole thing.

This study doesn't really look at positive/negative, it looks at Bush's positive vs. Kerry's positive (and some at the opposite). But the result-- that Fox just didn't give special treatment to Kerry, and in fact was not particularly positive towards Bush-- remains the same.

Actually political talk shows only populate the prime-time evening slots, as they likewise do at CNN and MSNBC.

The morning features light talk, not right-wing at all, then the rest is news. None of the cable stations deviate really from that formula.

What's really hilarious is that most of Fox News' critics have not really watched the channel, or even read transcripts, or in the case of pitiful do-nothing, even know the basic programming content.
