AIM thinks "Conservative" Fox News is turning "Liberal", but Newsbusters doesn't!

I sometimes wonder just how grounded in reality some of these political writers are, for about a second, then I remember I know the answer.

The Editor of the AIM Report, Cliff Kincaid, put out an article this week claiming that... "...the conservative Fox News Channel gave liberal Democrat Harold Ford another big boost on Wednesday night in his critical Tennessee Senate race."

Gee, Cliff. Thank you for confirming what many of us already knew, that Fox News Channel has a Conservative/Republican bias and is neither "fair" nor "balanced". But then, Cliff shocks us by telling us... "Just days before the election, however, Fox News seems to be doing all that it can do to push him over the finish line ahead of (Republican) Bob Corker. Fair and balanced? Not in this contest."

Is Cliff actually suggesting that the Fox News Channel is losing its Conservative bias and gaining a Liberal one?

The funny thing is, Cliff is the only columnist I've seen talking about this. Newsbusters, the blog of the conservative Media Research Center, hasn't mentioned anything about Fox News turning liberal and neither has the anti-Fox News site, Newshounds, which still accuses Fox News of trying to scaremonger voters into voting Republican in the upcoming mid-term elections.

I guess then that the jury still thinks that Fox News is conservative.
