The categorization for the site has been reviewed in our master database. Although, it is classified correctly under News and Media, a value in the database inadvertently associated the site to another that was categorized under Advocacy Groups and caused ___www.foxnews.com_ <file://www.foxnews.com> to be filtered under the wrong category. We have corrected this for today's database publication, and you should notice the update within the next 2 business days. In the meantime, please contact your local Websense administrator and request custom access to the site if you require immediate access. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
