Fox News is NOT conservative. Example:

One of the most repeated claims by the Left is that Fox News is oh-so-conservative.

But while Fox started fairly conservative, they're not really.  The Murdoch media empire started Fox as a conservative voice because they recognized the obvious: that every member of the American Lying Mainstream Media was hard-liberal/left/Dem-supporting. 

Didn't take a rocket scientist to see that the U.S. was wide open for a new network that seemed to be unbiased.  "Fair and balanced," as it were.

Unfortunately, they're going farther left with time.  For example, take this headline from today:

Orlando Sentinel issues scathing op-ed announcing it won't endorse Donald Trump in 2020 election

Most readers would assume the Sentinel had endorsed Trump in 2016 but after seeing the last 2.5 years of horrible disasters! caused by Trump-- a horrible economy, high unemployment, the U.S. caving in to threats from terrorist nations, dependent on imports of foreign oil from terror-sponsoring states that we can't oppose without losing the oil on which we desperately depend; abandoning nations that formerly supporte us--the list is almost endless!

And of course all the above "reasons" are lies:  In truth the economy is booming, unemployment is at 50-year lows, even for unskilled and low-skilled workers, we're finally standing up to terrorist-supporting nations like Iran instead of giving them billions and signalling that we won't try to stop them from getting the atom bomb. 

Thanks to private enterprise we're energy-independent--something Obama and the Dems claimed was absolutely impossible.

But ignore all that, citizen.  The Sentinel has determined that Trump's actions since taking office show that he's no longer worth their support and endorsement.  So they're flipping, changing the party they support from Repubs to Dems.  And they run a newspaper, so you should trust them!  Cuz they're smarter than you are, citizen.

Wait, that's...odd:  I don't recall the Sentinel endorsing Trump in 2016.  Did they really endorse Trump then, and they're now switching?

No.  They endorsed Hilliary.

But...doesn't that make this story a total nothing-burger?  It's like Fox headlining a story that the NY Slimes or WaPo just announced they're supporting any Democrat candidate against Trump:  If a media outlet supported the Democrats in 2016, why would their continuing to support the Dems now be even remotely considered worthy of print?

And especially with that headline: they Dem rag didn't just reluctantly switch, they ran a "scathing op-ed."  And of course they didn't switch, but made you think they did.

Fox hasn't supported Trump for two years now.  And they're not conservatives.
