Most of the time
60 Minutes is a very reliable source. Personally, I often found Andy Rooney more irritating than funny, but that is just my opinion.
There are a lot of media sources though that you should just follow the money to see what kind of spin they are putting on things.
I am not sure I have ever really seen anything "fair and balanced" on Fox News for instance. On the other side, you do see a lot of liberal bias in various other newspapers and news shows.
One example for which there should be a very interesting HBO movie coming out on Saturday, March 10, 2012 is Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin.
Sarah Palin IMHO did not get fair treatment by many media sources but then again it kind of looked like just a marketing trick to put her into that kind of dog fight in the first place. She did seem to do a pretty good job even if she was no match for the other dogs in the pit.
