Relatively speaking, I'd say that you're all right wing anyway, but that's not the point. For good or bad, America has divided itself into too broad camps; the right-wing Republican-voting group and the (relative) left-wing Democrat-voting group. The question is whether particular stations are more biased to one or the other.
Given the nature of American news, I'd be very surprised if the news coverage doesn't go where the money is, hence you have some that pander to the American 'right-wing' and some that pander to the 'left-wing'.
Fox News has an international reputation for being an absurd pseudo-news station pandering to the American right-wing. If you can't call Fox news out on it's bias but feel comfortable doing so with most other outlets, then I think that's the hostile media effect in play.
