A story making the rounds online claims ABC has hired actor Tim Allen to be its first conservative programming consultant.

The story quotes ABC's president as saying Allen will bring another dimension to the network and ensure the entirety of the audience is represented.

But the whole thing is fiction.

The article in question comes from the Dunning-Kruger Times, which is a satirical website that clearly states everything it publishes is fiction.

While Tim Allen has endorsed Republicans in the past, he has described himself as fiscally conservative and “emotionally liberal.”
