Russell Moore is clearly using a different meaning of conservative than is usually meant when people say Fox News is conservative. While Moore is using the term in a moral sense (to support a morality that we thing of as being the old morality), everyone else is using the term—with respect to Fox News—in a political sense (for Fox supports a right-ish political agenda—one that has somehow picked up the descriptor, conservative).
So Moore’s either being naive or he’s equivocating. Either way, he’s getting coal in his stocking this year.

Unfortunately, many Christians view Fox as conservative in both senses.
Get outta town, really? What a crazy world!
