Fox News has demanded that the New York Times publish a correction after a reference to it as "the conservative cable network" appeared in the newspaper.

In an interview with the Washington Post, the newspaper's culture editor responded that Stanley was writing as a critic and was therefore "well within her rights to call Fox pretty much whatever she wants."
