Fox News liberal

1. A person who describes themselves as a Democrat, but is actually quite conservative, such as Zell Miller. FOX News always gives them airtime in hopes that they can claim to be "fair and balanced."

2. Someone on FOX News who is actually a liberal, but either dumb or weak, and exists primarily as a punching bag for the conservatives on the show. Alan Colmes is an example.

Fox News-ify

Whenever someone uses "spin" and/or other rhetorical techniques seen on Fox News to lie, cheat, or just tell the part of the story that makes them or their agenda look good, just like on Fox News. It also helps if the "spin" is punctuated by an emotional, patriotic, or insulting remark.
"I can't believe I got fired for stealing from the safe; I merely undertook a personal covert cash flow enhancement initiative. My boss obviously wants the terrorists to be able to perform abortions on helpless babies."

"Dude, you stole. Stop trying to Fox News-ify your situation."

One who is often called a "Fox News liberal" is Alan Colmes, co-host (with Sean Hannity) of Hannity & Colmes; he is criticised by liberal commentators, including author and talk show host Al Franken, as weak and unable to effectively debate his decisively conservative counterpart.
That op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal is the weakest rebuttal to the pro-Bush article he was trying to refute. He's a milquetoast Fox News liberal if you ask me.
