B&C's Ben Grossman reports:
"I watch CNN, they're not fucked up like Fox," Barkley told B&C. "They are a mouthpiece for the Republican Party. I watch [Fox] a couple times when there is someone I want to see on there. But they're corrupt."
When asked whether he is just shilling for his parent company (TNT and CNN are corporate cousins), Barkley denies that he has to stick up for his team.
"Hell no, I don't," he says. "I like Wolf Blitzer and Anderson Cooper and John King. They at least try to give both sides."
But Fox News Channel doesn't see it that way, as a network spokesperson fired back immediately.
"It's hardly a surprise that Charles is a shill for a Turner owned network.... He obviously needs the steady paycheck to pay off his consistent gambling debts," the spokesperson told B&C.
In 2006, Barkley told TravelGolf, "I was a Republican until they lost their minds." He is a supporter of Barack Obama (as he explains in the video below):

and this is why I love Sir Charles...he'll speak his mind. He does everytime, that way you know it isnt cuz he wants to rep his Turner allegiance.
a "rich man" who has spoke his mind on how other "rich corporations" and the republican party have let this country down.

The man is 100% correct. I'd have more respect for Faux Snews of they just came out and said, we're a Republican Television Station, than to try to pretend they are impartial.
Typical of Faux News to think he's a shill. Faux, like their party are completely out of touch. If you know anything about Barkley, you'd know Sir Charles has never backed off from speaking his mind.

I don't know if I stand behind everything ole Barkley has to say. If you saw his Larry King interview the other night he was that impressive, really at all. Of Course they had Ben Stein sitting right next to him, which can make a lot people look stupid. Whoever coordinated that set up that night must have had a long day the day before. Not hating on some of the most honest reporting on television or anything, but it was kinda funny. But yeah, everybody knows Fox is crap. I'm with Raven6 it would be better if they just came out and said it, no harm- no foul, just don't deny it anymore!
