You mean the Communists and Socilaists.

"Center" means what it means. Of course, to quote the
famous Centist Democrat, Bill Clinton, it all depends on the
meaning of the word "is".

Those that say "Fox News is right wing" are simply
misusing the word "is", not the phrase "right wing".
These people are living in the world of 50 years ago
when Communism and Socialism were actually active. Today,
Fox is centrist.
