They may be more "moderate" than msnbc, but that doesn't make them moderate.
I am arguing that, compared to either MSNBC and Fox, all those channels are extremely moderate just by the sheer nature of their distance from the extreme boundaries set by those two channels. If you were to quantify this visually on a thermometer with MSNBC at 0 and Fox at 100 I think most other news channels would be hovering between 45 and 55 visually.
Given this, I would argue that anyone who uses either Fox or MSNBC is knowingly selecting a news source that is provably more deceptive and false in order to further reinforce their previously held belief system. If you choose 100 degree Fox because ABC News sits at 45 and is therefore slightly left leaning, you are making a choice not to be informed, but to be further indoctrinated.
That is unless you want to argue that MSNBC is at 0 and major cable networks are at 10/15.....in which case you're likely a partisan hack who has fallen for a redefinition of the "center" and are probably beyond hope.

No one watching cable news wants news, they want to be entertained.
In fact, the new head of CNN has changed the programming to be more "entertaining".

What news outlet would you say is the 55? I don't know of a single major news outlet besides Fox that I would put over 50, and it would be hard pressed to put one over 45 I would argue they are between 35-45 at best.
You say you aren't arguing they are moderate, but ten rank them right in the middle.

You know what they say about those who make assumptions.
