Not going to argue that Fox is more Republican than any other of the stations. Saying that Fox is the only Republican station compared to all the rest of the MSM is debatable, but generally true.

Calling Republican and Conservative the same thing isn't really close IMO though.

Calling Republican more conservative than the Democratic party for the last 40 years of so -- debatable, but generally true as well.

If you are calling Fox a Republican rag -- I suspect I can find people who call CNN the Communist News Network -- ABC, NBC and CBS propaganda machines for the Democratic Party, etc.

It all depends on where you are coming from, and who taught you what, and who you think you should have listened to.

With all that said, none of them are conservative. (By the definition that I grew up with.) Conservative implies God, Country, Family in that order where Liberal implied Government, Self, and Money. Republicans are kind of in the Big Business, Money, Country, wishy washy God, Self, Family role from what I have seen right now......so no I don't really call that conservative. Democrats seem to be in the Government, Self (I can do whatever I want), Money, Family role right now and that is way from conservative.
