neoliberal liberal or like fox news liberals?

Is there a functional difference?

Doesn't fox refer to anyone to the left of the American center as liberal? I'm not super versed but I was thinking it wouldn't make sense to call socialists, neoliberals, and communists all liberals and I def don't think fox is being that specific

Yes, they do... but this doesn't change the fact that Fox itself peddles liberalism - ie, capitalism. That is, when it's not peddling outright fascism - liberalism's status quo-sustaining alter-ego.

I was thinking it wouldn’t make sense to call socialists

No, it doesn't make sense to call people such as socialists - who want to dismantle all aspects of liberalism (and with it, fascism) - "liberals."
