Websense reportedly blocks Foxnews.com (but not CNN) as "advocacy" group [fs]

[Declan McCullagh <declan () well com>]

This reminds me of an article Brock Meeks and I wrote almost a decade ago:

We reported that CyberPatrol blocked a National Rifle Association site 
but not the Brady Campaign.

Websense is now blocking foxnews.com as an advocacy group.  I really
don't have any comment about this, except that cnn, msnbc, etc. are
not blocked at all except for their sports sections.

I have attached a screenshot.
