I actually thought of Fox as the network that pushed the envelope and was home to controversial shows before I knew that Murdoch was conservative. Long before I cared to comprehend politics, I remember people bitching about how raunchy "Married with Children" was, bitching that Fox gave George Carlin a sitcom ("The George Carlin Show"), and so on. I remember thinking "turn it to Fox to see women walking around in lingerie, or shows who's episodes revolved around the word 'fuck.'"
Years later I started hearing and reading about Murdoch and his views, and then the Fox News Channel, and I could only think, "WTF?"
