news

A public record of all the horrible things that happen in the world every day.
Person A: Did you read the news today?

Person B: No, I'm too depressed to want to read how many people died from being blown up by terrorists/killed in meaningless wars/drowned/overwhelmed by environmental degredation/eaten by wild dogs/etc.

Person A: Okay..... never mind then.

newscandy

Insufficient morsels of news meted out by journalists of TV and radio. Often simply a headline and one paragraph's worth word-count, so that they can pile on as many little anecdotes as possible between traffic reports, witty banter, and advertisements, and repeat them every half hour for the short-attention span crowd.
Watching CNN Headline News is pretty much just getting newscandy.

Fox News Brain

A disease or condition perpetuated by a steady ingestion of Fox (Faux) News programming, heavily afflicting far right Republican Trump supporters. Continued exposure to Fox News leads to false and illogical parroting of heavily biased, almost always incomplete, or simply false information. It is propaganda in the guise of "news", with little to zero journalistic quality and integrity. Symptoms include, but are not limited to: Belief that Trump is the best President this nation ever had, an inability to let go of Hillary's emails, blaming Obama, hating anything Democrat (repeating phrases like "the democrats this" or "the democrats that"), anti-immigrant rhetoric, anti-science and climate change denial, and lately an obsession with degrading Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Do you know someone who loves President Trump? Is obsessed that Hillary sold our country out? Hates Obama (because they were told to), or says things like "AOC is so stupid and doesn't have a brain". Chances are, they are suffering from Fox News Brain.

Suggestions for dealing with someone suffering with Fox News Brain include: avoid at all cost.
