Its narrow minded not to watch news given from one (liberal) viewpoint under the guise of being neutral?

I think not.

There's no correlation between ratings and truth/balance/whatever. All it means is that people find Fox more entertaining that other news networks, and I think that's the fundamental difference. Fox strives to be entertaining above all else while other networks put more emphasis on news, only giving up portions of their journalistic integrity in order to pander to their audience. Sadly, mainstream news is selling its soul for more ratings, and it looks like Fox is leading the pack by a wide margin.

I like Fox's sports channels. But Fox, and all other network news channels are low-quality. CNN has Glenn Beck (what a tool), and Nancy Grace (one tracked mind, not a creative cell in her brain).

If you want real objective geopolitical news, read the free intelligence reports from Stratfor.com. Network news is worthless.

What are you basing that on other than personal opinion? I don't see FOX as any different, better or worse, than any of the other networks. They take their news just as serious as anyone else and have opinion shows just like everyone else.

Again, it really boils down to some people being scared of FOX becuase they have the audacity to allow conservatives a voicebox.
