I can see how this was a good question, but conservatives always have an "out" when it comes to covering up the realities of the media Jesus.
Certainly, on it's face, it appears that Murdoch got "owmed" with this question, but that's not really what's going on.
When appearing before Congress some years ago when asked the same question, Murdoch easily mentioned Alan Colmes and Greta as two Democratic voice at Fox"News". Colmes hasn't been with the network as an anchor for some time - only now infrequently appearing on O'Reilly's program - and Greta was so busy stalking Sarah Palin prior to her and McCain's loss in the elections in '08, as well as her willingness to let people like Rush Limbaugh use her program as a vehicle for their hatred, it's a rather disinenguous statement to say she's a Democrat.
As the title suggests, Fox"News" utilized the Democratic version of the RINO. I'm speaking precisely about people like Greta, Bob Beckel, and Kirsten Powers. At one point, Alan Colmes was included on that list - at least in my opinion, as he was more than willing to let Sean Hannity steamroll over him on a nightly basis. However, Colmes seems to have grown a bit of a spine since he left his co-hosting duties. Not to be overtly conspiratorial, but one has to ask whether or not his action on Hannity and Colmes were part of the script. Who knows.
Never the less, since Obama took office last year, the very real face of Fox"News" has been exposed even more. Rational thinking people have seen behind the mask for years, but now almost anyone should be able to recognize that Fox simply is not news, it's opinion and infotainment for the conservative movement. Those alleging to be Democrats are just set-dressing to keep up this thin veneer of "fairness" and "balance"
