My dad does this and it pisses me off to no end...

I do HOURS of my own research to find relevant data to prove points and his reply is always some bullshit Sean Hannity rant or some insanely biased fox article with an absurd headline like "evil baby killing Demonrats want to kill everyone!" like that article contains anything of merit...
