— Ace As anyone who watched, and then stopped watching, L&O knows, about ten years back the show got jaded and bored with the whole "murder" thing. The show stopped being about the murders themselves -- who cares about murder, anyway? -- and almost always turn into a liberal soapbox as McCoy went beyond the murder itself, to the real malefactors, the people whose corrupt system caused the murder due to their greed. And those Evil Republican Types became the show's real villains, week after week, as murderers were excused as being essentially dupes of "the real killers."
So here we go again. Now, we are told, the "real killers" are drug-makers selling life-extending but very expensive drugs. And we need a little ObamaCare, a little rational rationing, to keep the scourge of life-extending drugs away from an abused public.

It looks like Obama admited that Gitmo won't be closing Gitmo in January. I guess those of us who knew his plan was pretty bogus from the start were ahead of the MSM.

2.?????

Unfortunately this is the formula the Obama admin uses for almost all of its policies.

I had a thought, why not make an official recommendation that women put off having breast exams until they are say 50, instead of 40 and then those who get breast cancer in the 40s would not cost the system as much since ya know, it will be to late and they will die?

L&O sucks
Four years ago, Ace wrote a funny CSI parody. Here's a taste.
WILLOWS: There's a void over there, Greg. Why don't you see if you can figure out what might have blocked the blood-splatter?
GREG: That's a good idea. Here's a better idea. Why don't you and Sarah strip down to your panties and start boxing each other. Full contact, no holds barred. Feel free to smack each other in the poonanis while you're at it.
SARAH: Greg, I don't see what scientific purpose that serves.
GREG: I have to eliminate you as suspects.
Sarah and Willows exchange looks, then shrug. They strip down to their skivvies and begin kicking each other in the ovaries.
GREG: Oh yeahhh... oh yeahh... keep on keepin' on... I've almost eliminated you now.

As an employee of a evil pharma company, I say 'fuck you' to Dick Wolf and the producers/writers. If you hate us so much, then lets see how long you or your loved ones can stay off our products. Not so easy, is it? All of those life-saving drugs are expensive for a reason, and there's no way in hell we're going to give them away for free forever. People spend their entire careers in the lab and never get to see one drug candidate make it to market. You can choose to buy them or not. I don't care.

Yes, but nobody knew that until the last minutes of the episode when she got her ass canned. She uttered the line "Is it because I'm a lesbian?" and my wife shot me a WTF? look.

There are some shows out there are for the most part apolitical. Also South Park, despite the Glenn Beck episode, tends to tear into the left on a weekly basis.
I am kinda pissed. I remember i used to watch law and order all the time. I really liked SVU, but I stopped watching about 3-4 years ago. It probably started its leftward turn before then but it wasn't so blantant. I stopped watching when they had a bunch of transexual(etc) themed shows where they made anyone who frowns on that life choice seem like Commie-Nazis2. It once was entertaining, but as Ace pointed out, it is another NBC outleft for left wing propaganda.

I love lectures from Hollywood, the land of the 24-hour shrinks, the Cocaine Candyland, the Surgical Mutilation Capital of the Freakin' Universe, Anorexia Central, the Casting Couch Caliphate, the Land of Fruits, Nuts, Whores & the Batshit Crazy.
That vapid little hamlet is the cradle of twisted insanity, inhuman predators, and absolute amoral hedonism, and they want to write little playlets where they can control what comes out of people's mouths in order to prove the Ultimate Truth of their Little Dogma. Charming.
Remember 'Designing Women,' an estrogen-soaked weekly hissy-fit of Liberal indignation, where anyone who agreed with Linda Bloodworm Thomason (FOB, HAG, FAG) was brilliant, erudite, and soooo sincere, and anyone on the other side was a drooling, hypocritical microcephalic hyper-religious retard? Liberals always win the arguments in the little realities they create for themselves, where they can make their opponents into incapable, bumbling, inarticulate fools.
Conservatives just have to be content to have that come their way in reality.

I think the clearest example that hollywood intentionally does this shit(as if it wasn't so obvious already) was the movie "The Sum of All Fears". It's not like they wrote the script and made a movie. They took a popular Tom Clancy novel and intentionally changed the bad guys from Muslims to ...get this..Germans still pissed about losing the second world war. It is still the best example of Hollywood's inability to 1)be entertaining 2)make things more "real to life" c)show that certain groups will always be protected by them regardless of reality.

I wasn't into the right leaning blogs until after say 2005, so can someone answer three questions for me.
1. Why was Andrew Sullivan popular?
2. At what point did it become clear he was a statist Tory, with issues, and not an American conservative as he is labeled on TV?
3. How is his site so popular still? Who reads it? I think it is one of the more visited political sites on the web if i am not mistaken.

One of many reasons why primetime nework TV has been almost entirely out of my zone of awareness for at least ten years. It's basically just vapid reality shows, left wing agendas, and politically correct cultural sewage.
We are always told, Hollywood isn't left leaning, they lean towards profits. Well this clearly isn't true anymore as evidences by all the global warming themed flops at the box office, the tv series that disappear after 2-3 episodes, etc.
I think Hollywood should take a lesson from the West Wing, a popular TV show that allowed leftist to imagine how current events would have played out had a left wing president been in the white house.
I would suggest they do a version for the right wing, it would be popular and make money, but we all know that the writers couldn't put their politics aside and the show would end up alienating the right leaning viewers more than atracting them.
If hollywood had some decent writers and studio heads they could make a fortune catering to such a large segment of the population that is dying for entertainment that reflects their values.

And she actually belongs to Greenpeace. In the show. Handcuffs her ass to a bulldozer.

You can be certain of one thing. Congress will get these life extending drugs for themselves, and we will pay for them.
I'm biased, but I'd consider extending my life, and the lives of my family, at the cost of the life of every member of Congress a bargain. I'm certain Congress feels the same way about me and mine. I don't have the power to do anything about my inclination. I'd prefer to keep the reverse true.

Also, any show, no matter what, that features a homeless Iraq vet immediately gets flipped.
Vietnam veterans are, in actuality, statistically less likely to be homeless, more likely to own their own business, more likely to successfully run for political office, more likely to be above the median income, less likely to commit suicide, more likely to exceed the average life expectancy, and less likely to be perscriped anti-depressants or diagnosed with a mental disorder then males in the public at large are.
Yet hollywood has managed to convince most of America that a vietnam vet was mostly to be, if not waving a placard and a cup mumbling about sattelites on the side of the highway, terrorizing a small rural town with serial killings and shooting up the local police force.
Even Rambo, which was otherwise an excellent movie, pisses me off in that respect.
That's the 1 thing I will under no circustamces stomach even with a show I like. Homeless vet? Fuck you, I'll watch QVC if I have to.

Hey, they go after gun manufacturers and gun stores as well.
And every rich person in NY is evil and snotty in exactly the same way. Honestly, it was the laziness of the writing more than the political b.s. that made me quit watching.

I think Hollywood should take a lesson from the West Wing, a popular TV show that allowed leftist to imagine how current events would have played out had a left wing president been in the white house.
I would suggest they do a version for the right wing, it would be popular and make money, but we all know that the writers couldn't put their politics aside and the show would end up alienating the right leaning viewers more than atracting them.
If hollywood had some decent writers and studio heads they could make a fortune catering to such a large segment of the population that is dying for entertainment that reflects their values.
There is as much of an entertainment market of conservatives as there was for a news network before Fox News emerged in 1996 and addressed that niche audience of "half the country" (as Charles Krauthammer put it). It just seems like too much of a market vacuum to remain unfilled. We'll see.

While he's far from good, I have to give Carlos Mencia credit for regularly skewering "politically correct" crap. To his great credit, he does that. Or at least many skits of his on Comedy Central have.

I mean a seen a few episodes of SVU and that hot brunette chick was practically reciting Nany Pelosi's floor address.
I did stop watching "Without a Trace" when they had the FBI agents having the vapors over the Patriot Act. There's political bias and then there's really, really stupid political bias.

Eh, good try but the value of a used TV is practically zero. Indeed the social 'profit' from the destruction of a TV is far greater than the economic loss from the destruction of the box which radiates teh evil.
And if there are any good crashes during the race someone will put them on U-tuibe.

South Park makes fun of everyone and everything. Matt and Trey have been asked if they get more flak from liberals or conservatives and without hesitation say it's from the left. They don't even notice traditionalists and conservatives being made fun of on the show, because they are too busy being outraged at humor directed at them. It's a new experience for them I guess.

Hell, is there any damn show on TV anymore that hasn't gone to this? This is why I don't watch TV anymore except for an occasional old movie, a (now) small amount of Fox News, and football.
The damn history channel can't even do a special about Thor now without calling it a "religious program" and fitting in an AGW plug.
I quit watching them a while back too.

And eventually I'd get back on your good side by skewering Johnny Mac again.
Ya, Curm, I stopped watching her sitcom back when she came out, because that couldn't help but drag the show down. And of course, it did.
Even so, she seems at least genuinely nice. More than I can say for most comics or Hollywood in general. In comparison, she's an absolute Saint.

Barely related, but I always appreciated "Criminal Minds" not going along with conventional wisdom, but actually telling the truth:
Gideon and Reid tell her that the Stranger Danger program that was widely shown in public schools did the most harm to the country in terms of child abduction. It taught children about the scary man in the trench coat hiding behind the tree instead of warning children that strangers are only a fraction of the offenders. Most people who hurt and abduct children are family members, teachers, neighbors, people they see every day.

Michael Moriarity wasn't a Republican. He made some public comments about NBC when NBC prevented a particularly controversal episode from being shown, decrying it as a violation of free speech. Dick Wolf and MM apparently had some words and Dick Wolf made an "all-cop" episode of L&O which MM took as a sign to leave.
L&O always had a liberal bent. But it seemed much more natural in the early years (we are talking about New York city here, I would expect the characters to be somewhat liberal). Now it seems full on Kos kids liberal. Though I don't watch it anymore, I get that impression, for example, when flipping through channels and see McCoy prosecuting a former U.S DA who wrote a memo clarifying the use of force in interrogating terrorists.

Law & Order has been unwatchable garbage for years. Trite, cliched liberal scripts, lazily written characters, and "ripped from the headlines" ideas that are always ripped from the most boring headlines imaginable. And it's funny to me that New York City, the biggest megalopolis in America, never has any minority commit murder, ever.
How much high profile work have conservative or Republican actors gotten lately? Not much from what I can tell.
Ask Gary Sinise, a brilliant actor reduced to slumming on CSI: Wherever and narrating documentaries on the History Channel (not to slam on the docs, by the way, they're fantastic).

Permanantly disable the thing, too, so nobody finds that V.D.-infested crackpipe and, for whatever insane reason, thinks, "Oooh! A working television! I'mma bring that Commie-propaganda-spewing Christian-hating box of loud, flashy filth into my HOUSE!"
Even 99% of the goddamn commercials are Green/Marxist propaganda now. Not to mention, inbetween these "good" shows, you still get the obligatory network ads, telling you what filth is coming up next, what nation-destroying garbage is coming up at the 10:00 news, what P.O.S. false gods are going to be trashing YOU and YOUR COUNTRY later on on the Late Nite Shows. All in a funny way, of course.
