Fox was the most balanced, running the same ratio of positive vs negative stories about each. CNN was next, but was something like 55% positive for Obama and 55% negative for the other side. MSNBC was by far the worst, with something like 90% negative on McCain or Romney (don’t remember which) and 90% positive on Obama.

Seems like your implied criterion for quality news here is "balance" then. 

You are assuming that news organizations presenting roughly the same amount of positive and negative "stories" are doing the best job. 

Do I have that right? You didn't provide links so it's hard to evaluate the methodology here, e.g., how "positive" and "negative" are determined.
