If it’s true, they’re probably hedging their bets by emphasizing their left just a little bit more now. Unlike here at the “fair and biased” freerepublic.com, Fox News is a 24 hour network with 24 hours to fill with quality stories all the time, and with a “fair and balanced” claim to justify. They depend on access to keep their stories at an acceptable quality.
I can see this as “sweetening the pot” to keep their present level of access in case Obama wins. If McCain wins, they can easily move “right” back to where they were before.

Sans a boatload of conservative viewers.
Count on it.
