Faux News

A farcical television network that operates under the guise of a legitimate "news" channel. Its sole purpose is to pander to Republicans and to reinforce and propagate right-wing conspiracies and propaganda 24/7. One can get a good estimate of the number of Republicans in the country by looking at Faux News viewership statistics.
Person 1: "Hey, did you hear the news? Apparently they found proof that Barack Obama is an Islamic terrorist born in Kenya, and also the anti-Christ. And I found out that Hillary Clinton is a serial killer who's in cahoots with Obama to bring about the biblical end of days!"

Person 2: "Have you been watching Faux News again? These "news" reports sound an awful lot like conservative propaganda."

Person 1: "How'd you guess?! This wasn't from their opinion section, so it was supposedly objective!"
