If we think of it as a spectrum, then if you have "ultra-conservatives" shouldn't the term be "infra-liberals"?

LOL!!!!

Fox is minimally conservative.

Until we can state clearly what we mean by "conservative" or "liberal," I suggest that we bury the terms.

They know what the terms mean, they just don't like the fact that they lost the war of words so they want to eliminate the words and start over. That's why you now hear "progressive" instead of "liberal." Tossing out Conservative along with Liberal is a liberal idea since I've not heard of Conservatives complaining about what they're called -- they only complain when the labels are one-sided.

"Fox isn't even conservative, it just appears that way because all the other "news" channels are rabid Left."

Bump to that. The closest thing there is to a conservative news program on TV is 700 Club, and that news is interspersed with Pat Robertson praying to the point of being unwatchable. If there actually WERE a conservative nightly news, I bet it'd beat Fox, which is actually pretty left in news reporting and agenda, though far more right than the MSM in analysis of that reporting (which is to say, there are actual right wingers there doing the analysis).
