Hillary and her almost complete lack of public appearances during the campaign. The right's news outlet seemed to be Fox and their biased support for Republican party candidate Donald Trump. It has to be said that in my opinion, Fox's coverage of the election was noticeably less egregious with their subjective support of Donald Trump however it was evident that they were not in favor of Hillary.
