Fox News Channel, "Fair and balanced"?

I will be honest, I am a Democrat. I watch Fox news more often then I watch other news channels because, frankly, it seems to me, to be just more entertaining.
But, the question I have is; do people really believe their slogan, "Fair and Balanced"?

Interesting side note: my roommate (who is conservative) and I were watching the Daily show and Colbert the other day, and to his credit he does not watch much T.V., but when Colbert came on he says to me, "Good. I like this guy better. He is middle of the road". He was not joking as afterward I started laughing and he asked me what I was laughing about.
So as a partial follow up, what should I be more worried about that he didn't get that the show was a satire/comedy or that he thinks that Colbert's opinions on the show (where he pretends to be a staunch conservative) is the mark for middle of the road?
 
Most people understand that Fox news has a right wing bias

However, most people understand that the fair and balanced applies more to the fact that they are balancing the left controlled media dominance not that their coverage is balanced
 
i think you should be more worried that he thinks he is middle of the road. on the bright side, if he did not recognize the satire, then he is probably too inept to do much harm, just kidding...kind of
