"The [May 8 primary] election will again feature 'fake' or 'protest' candidates, depending on one's point of view," sez the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. Those are candidates running under the rubric 'Democrat' even though they were "recruited by the Republican Party," which calls them "protest" candidates. The J-S then goes on to refer to them as "protest candidates" five times and never as "fake candidates."
Because, ya know, it "depends on one's point of view."

Far more accurate than "fake" or "protest" would be to identify the GOP put-up candidates as "stealth Republicans," which assigns the pejorative to the proper actor.
