My mother is a fanatic FoxNews watcher. She fits every stereotype of the character. As John Stewart put it on the Factor, she falls for "the Narative" hook, line, and sinker. EDIT: It's not that she falls for it, it's more like that's how she sees the world also.
It's almost beyond explanation, how she fits that very mold. Because "in real life" she is kind, loving, smart, successful and overall a very nice person.

She's a sweet person but she gets her "information" from Fox News, and they were going off the deep end during the elections. (They've actually done some interesting challenging of some Senators' doublespeak recently, so they're not *always* 100% truth-free, but at the time they really were.)
