tabloid puppet

A tabloid puppet is a person who uses the mainstream media as their main source for information on political and entertainment matters. This person will believe almost anything, even the most ignorant rumors and slanderous lies, as long as its on TV or in a magazine, without any factual proof.

Tabloid puppets do not ever research and investigate the information that the media claims is true, which is usually half of the time fact mixed with rumor, false information, and random shit someone made off their head. Because of this, tabloid puppets can be very politically unaware and base their conclusions off of false affirmations. Tabloid puppets do not question what is said on their TVs or in the magazines, on the contrary, they spread the information to friends and colleagues.

Most tabloid puppets are educated through the brainwashing minds of CNN and FOX News and other various news networks. The more ignorant, gullible tabloid puppets usually watch shows such as "Entertainment Tonight", "Access Hollywood" and "TMZ". Don't get me started on magazines, those are even worse.

Unfortunately, the majority of the American public are tabloid puppets, and such make poor conclusions daily on politicians, celebrities, and other prominent figures shown in the mass media.
"Dude, did you know that Angelina Jolie said she is running for president?!!"

"Wow dude, you're such a tabloid puppet."

"I told my mom that the President was caught looking at this girl's ass, and she called me a tabloid puppet."

Tabloid TV

Commercial televsion programming marketing itself as "news" but containing little or no relevant content to news or reality. Often contains flashy graphics, loud presenters and is often slanted in one category (such as celebrity focus, political viewpoint or sensationalized news events). Tabloid TV often relies more on the audiences preconceptions and capitlizes on emotional responses rather than fact.
Fox News is Tabloid TV - presenting a "panel of fair and balanced experts" on a political viewpoint tend to have a very right wing/conservative viewpoint. Discussions tend to be one way, and dissent is normally ridiculed.

CNN has Tabloid TV content - regarding "twitter" and other forms of social netowrking in the newscast instead of presenting disticntly as commentary.

Inside Edition - nearly entirely celebrity focus with sensationalized crime stories. Tabloid TV in its entirety.

Tabloid Watch

A blog that analyses select stories mainly found in the Daily Mail and sometimes the Daily Express. The Sun and even the Daily Star. The writer will pick an article and pick it to pieces showing that is it not the paragon of journalism the newspaper claims it is but is in fact a load of scaremongering bollocks to keep people in a permanent state of 'fury'.
I've just read an entry on Tabloid Watch that picks apart the article that claimed that ALL British jobs have gone to immigrants and shown it to be utter rubbish backed up by figures and information collected from a variety of reliable sources.

Tabloid Statistics

These are statistics, usually quoted during morning breakfast radio, current affairs shows and by people butting into your conversation, have no real basis and are note scientific by any stretch of the word.

Usually, these statistics are versions of real statistics, with only the most inflammatory parts cherry-picked out of the real statistics to create a sensationalist response from those that hear it.
Woman: "Did you hear on the radio this morning, 87% of housework is done by women; you men are so lazy!"
Man: "O.K., so did it include around the house jobs like cleaning the gutters, mowing the lawn, gardening, car maintenance and opening pickle jars for you women?! That's just hocus-pocus and tabloid statistics!"
Woman: "No, why? Is all that important?!"
Man: *head explodes*

Tabloid Math

Juicy talks in mathematical circles on who are working on which projects or proofs, or who have been offered tenure, especially among the “office politicians” who were unprovenly promoted based on their close or intimate relationship with the boss rather than on their published papers and teaching awards.
Stabbing each other on the back, bitching about promoted or demoted fellow colleagues, and the like are part and parcel of tabloid math conversation, which preoccupies the minds of thousands of frustrated or marginalized mathematicians at lunchtime.
