* While Marvel's ''ComicBook/CivilWar'' was meant to be both topical and balanced, the need to make it topical had too many Pro-Registration characters do morally questionable things.

Otherwise known as a DINO ('''D'''emocrat '''I'''n '''N'''ame '''O'''nly), a 'Fox News Liberal' is an [[UsefulNotes/PoliticalIdeologies ideological]] [[TheWarOnStraw Strawman]] character who is used to bring the ''illusion'' of political balance in a narrative or discourse that is otherwise overwhelmingly slanted in the other direction. Named after a critique of the Creator/FoxNewsChannel, a United States news organization with mostly right-wing programming, it has an opposite counterpart in the 'MSNBC Conservative' -- named for a competing left-leaning US news organization -- or RINO ('''R'''epublican '''I'''n '''N'''ame '''O'''nly).

The BBC version, the Token Isolated Leftie
Added DiffLines:
* This is entirely familiar to viewers of the Creator/{{BBC}}'s current affairs panel show ''Question Time'', in which a panel composed of five people in the public eye [[note]]Usually industrialists,journalists and politicians, but there can be a token general celebrity[[/note]] answer questions from the studio audience about current affairs. It has been noted that the makeup of the panel is invariably skewed to the conservative right, with the odd token leftist [[note]]Americans: we actually have a left-wing; you have Liberals[[/note]] put in for "balance" and so that they can be seen as an oddball extremist loner among right-thinking people. It is also suspected that audience selection is manipulated to favour the centre-right.

** Arnold Vinick, the Republican Presidential nominee in the final season, rejects enough Republican principles that it's almost impossible the real-life Republican Party would nominate him for President. He's pro-choice and not at all religious, although he's a big believer in economic conservatism, as in big tax cuts and reducing the size of government. Vinick's strong economic conservatism would not go far in the Democratic Party, and he's not extreme enough to be accepted by the Libertarian Party, so he's more of a Republican than anything else. Of course, he's from California, where Arnold Schwarzenegger, with similar views, was successful as a Republican politician, so his being a Republican Senator is believable. But as for his presidential nomination, it's telling that the nomination fight itself happens completely off-camera. WordOfGod says Vinick was based on John [=McCain=], who at the time of the show held similar views, though [=McCain=] was strongly pro-life. And [=McCain=] ''did'' win the 2008 nomination of his party, but by the time of the 2008 election, he had shifted considerably to the right.

* ''Series/{{Yellowstone}}'': While the series has a somewhat inaccurate reputation as a conservative show, its treatment of environmental activism doesn't help. Summer Higgins is introduced as the ringleader of a large group of environmental protestors, yet in conversation, she's never able to mount even a paltry defense of her beliefs. Characterized as an insufferable GranolaGirl, she spends her entire screen time getting trounced in conversation with regular cast members, learning to appreciate their opposing point of view, and getting easily manipulated.

His only crime was wanting to plant solar panels on a field of sage grass (which is useless on a pasture anyway), and not introducing himself to John sooner (which is ''John's'' responsibility, not his).

Coincidentally, while the Liberals are anti-military and favor socialist economics, Montaigne is pro-military, her economic views are indicated to line up with the Centrists ([[AuthorTract the party representing the author's views]]), and her only real support for the Liberal platform is in how she wants the Commons to be given more power (which the Centrists are also pretty cool with).
** In her first appearance in the mainline books, she confirms her husband's statement that she basically disagrees with the Liberals about everything except their strong opposition against cloning genetically engineered slaves. So the one thing the good liberal approves of the liberal platform is opposing something that doesn't exist in our world.
