In this example it means the Fox News interviewers were presenting the message of conservative politicians, instead of acting as independent interviewers.
""Clinton benefited from this phenomenon during his recent showdown with Fox News. Appearing on a network that many liberals regard as enemy terrain, he said interviewer Chris Wallace and his bosses were distorting his terrorism record to carry water for conservatives.""

To "carry the conversation" means to help it along. The idea is that you're carrying the burden, you're doing all the work by thinking of new things to say. You're carrying the conversation forward, and making it keep going, while the other personisn't putting in as much effort. Or they simply aren't good at thinking of things to say.
