Are they one and the same? Only reason i ask is AT&T and AT&T Wireless 5 years ago were not the same.

If they are the same this article doesnt surprise me at all since Fox news is unbiased in the republican direction.

News Corporation is the parent company that owns Fox and Fox News (as well as the New York Post, Dow Jones & Company's Wall Street Journal, The Weekly Standard, MySpace Records, 20th Century Fox, Fox Searchlight, etc etc). Its chairman, CEO, and founder is Rupert Murdoch - an Australian who is famous for his conservative leanings and anti-union mentalities.

That being said, there's really no way to tell which way he really leans. He pushed the New York Post to endorse Obama back in 2008. To be honest, I think he's just in it for the money. If people stopped watching Fox because of its political rightness, he'd swing it to the left. Since Obama gets shitty ratings compared to American Idol, I'm not surprised he'll show Idol instead.
