and share the same conservative philosophy, but they're an affiliate. They are separate companies, I should have been clearer. They are partners in crime, not the same entity.

My point was that the ABC affiliate is owned by the same company as the Fox affiliate, and re-brands their ABC 6 news program for the Fox 28 station, and they push very similar Conservative agendas as the national Fox network. So you are basically getting the same type of slant as you would with Fox News, using the Fox name. It's easy to see why people don't distinguish between the two all that well.
