Brazilian mainstream media is also very partisan-biased, though they won't ever admit it and always strive to come out as politically neutral.

While there's a left-centrist party in office, not one positive news is to be shown in mass media vehicles, even when the president receives an international award, the people are kept in the dark about it and you have to follow alternative news to be informed. This discrepancy has even been reported in international news before.

I think Fox News takes it beyond partisan-bias and into extreme propaganda territory.

See for example this:

Universal Health Care is the Jihadists' secret weapon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMu6wCqdeyQ

Not carrying guns suggests Norway is not a democracy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EX3km583Dw

For News successfully argues in court that it is allowed to lie in its news: http://www.relfe.com/media_can_legally_lie.html

I think TV journalism isn't American media's stronger suite, but you could fairly say that globally Fox News is the rule rather than the exception.

Government-bias may well be more common than not, or than commercial advertiser-biased. The difference between those countries and the US is consumer education. At least outside of the US the viewers / listeners / readers know they're not getting an unbiased perspective.
