Popular culture is in full-scale attack mode on the Tea Party.
This is quite odd.
We have a new season of TV shows being unveiled by the networks and many of them feel like it’s important for them to attack those with conservative Constitutional values.
There is no better indication that the Tea Party has arrived and they are a force in American culture—not just pop culture, but American culture in general.
The goal of the networks is to connect with the public. When they do that, their shows become valuable and everybody makes a lot of money. Nothing wrong with that, but the networks have no idea how to connect with the public. In fact, since polls say that most Americans are sympathetic to Tea Party values, the networks are showing they have no problem with attacking a large portion of their potential viewers. Agenda is more important than success.
We’ve known for a long time that the TV networks are biased with their news broadcasts. While they feel they are fooling everybody, America is laughing at them and ratings are in free-fall. Credibility is the only thing that they can hope to have, and that is long since lost—now they hope to blast the Tea Party with their TV shows in prime time.
CSI, NCIS, Grey’s Anatomy, Saturday Night Live and other shows have taken their shots at Constitutional ideals and principles lately. I’m sure there are others, but I don’t have the time or patience to watch them all. SNL took direct shots at Christine O’Donnell last weekend and I guarantee you a couple of weeks ago they had no idea who she was.
Christine O’Donnell? How has she become a target all of a sudden? Somebody at NBC sees her as a great threat so they must work to destroy her. Anybody who thinks their attacks are aimed at both sides are not watching, or they are ignoring reality. These attacks are partisan and they are political.
This is absolute desperation on the part of those who program and produce network shows. Ratings are falling and November is coming.
