Roger Ailes says there's only one conservative at Faux "news," the rest are liberals...

19. I think the current definition of "conservative" is radical regressive so that even

a regressive or a reactionary can be folded into "liberal". Rock rib conservative like Goldwater or William F. Buckley naturally are liberals as are Reaganites like John McShame.
By altering how they define the political spectrum it allows Eisenhower type cons like Clinton and Obama to be called communist which essentially is far left as you can be which in turn results in the them being the new fringe left which of course eliminates anything or anyone further left from them from the possible spectrum.

They are all about framing, which is why "meeting them in the middle" is always worse than fool's gold. Every such effort shrinks the practical political spectrum on the left and expands it to the right putting us into a societal suicide spin.
