When the government or media (more often than not it's both working together somehow) drive fear of a new threat (often terrorism or a deadly disease) into the people of the nation and keep them from expressing all of their freedoms and/or views and doing the things they want to do
Notable stories/events that have been constantly attacked/used for Government/Media fear:
-Terrorism
-Communism (see McCarthyism/ Red Scare)
-AIDS
-Drugs
- 9/11
-The "Brain Eating Amoeba"

A piece of shit website where soccer moms who have children that want to play a game or watch a tv show or a movie refer to to see if it has positive messages, violence, sex, drugs, and of course the worst category ever CONSUMERISM. To get a good review it must go with the common sense media guidelines. They give all good movies 3 stars which sucks.
Teenager in high school : hey mom can I play fortnite and roblox kids games suck
Mom: let me check common sense media
Mom: no it’s 18+
Mom: it’s not stop treating like a baby I’m 17 curse you

The myth often promoted by hard core conservatives that they or their views are not treated fairly by the supposedly liberal media. This notion comes from various surveys that show that a typical sampling of journalists are likely to be slightly more liberal than average.
However, using such surveys as proof overlooks the much harsher realities. First, all major media outlets are owned by large corporations that have pro-big business and low regulation preferences. Secondly, where news agencies were once considered a public service they are now seen as having to be self supporting through advertizing. And, advertizers tend to favor a pro-big business point of view. Third, Fox handpicked its staff to be conservative even more so than CNN. Fourth, radio is quite extreme in its conservative to liberal ratio. In 2004 Air America which was the biggest liberal radio network was only broadcast on 14 radio stations compared with 5,000 that carried Bill O'Reilly, Hannity, and Rush Limgaugh and another 4,000 that carried consevative religious programming. In fact, through most of its history MSNBC was conservative like CNN having such hosts as Ann Coulter and Tucker Carlson and Imus for its morning program. MSNBC has since become more liberal in primetime with Ed Schultz, Keith Olbermann, and Rachel Maddow but nevertheless retains a strongly conservative slant with Morning Joe.
The liberal media bias excuse when invoked is similar to justifications used by alcoholics to dismiss their addiction. It could also be viewed as an ad hominem attack to dismiss bad press in much the same fashion as dismissing the members of a particular race, religion, or heritage.

When the parent uses social media to portray them self as a stand up parent. Posting pictures, videos, things they bought to get a stamp of approval from those watching. When really they are spiteful, vindictive and mad and use the kids as pawns to get back at the other parent when not on social media. Not caring how their hurting the kids in the process. All cause they wanna show the world how.much of a "good" parent they "are"
See baby momma and baby daddy definitions. Also see mitch and bitch definitions.

Social media parent: Posting pictures of your kids saying "this is what it's all about yall", when off social media you were trying to keep them separated to pay the other parent back.

Someone who follows in every trend on social media and cannot be for themselves. Someone so unoriginal and someone so worried about putting their whole life on social media to get “famous”
