Quote:With the opening of the 2021 season, Network TV went ultra-woke, pushing anti-police themes, Black Lives Matter narratives, and left-wing storylines. Writers’ rooms throughout Hollywood are working hard to keep race at the top of viewer’s minds after left-wing activists pressured the networks to change the way they portray black Americans and the police.

The season kicked off in November with series such as This Is Us, Law & Order: SVU, S.W.A.T. The Good Doctor, and Chicago PD all pushing social justice storylines that tout systemic racism and portray law enforcement in a negative light.

As the TV season resumed after a vexing coronavirus break, drama This is Us featured a segment where Sterling K. Brown fired his white therapist because a white person can’t understand a black man, and later attacked his white, adopted sister for not talking about race when he was young.

Others went deep into anti-police narratives.

Law & Order: SVU launched its season with an attack on police, including star Ice-T speaking about how blacks can’t trust the police. Chicago PD depicted a black cop framed by dozens of racist white cops. S.W.A.T. star Shemar Moore’s character is shown being lectured about bad cops in L.A. Meanwhile, The Neighborhood claimed that police in America are somehow “the same system as slavery.”

Many shows pushed other left-wing narratives. The Good Doctor featured a lead character wearing a Black Lives Matter shirt, and the re-boot of Magnum P.I. made claims that American policing is a “broken system.”

Network TV continued hitting the woke narratives as the weeks rolled onward and into the new year, and several new shows were introduced.

The newly debuted Clarice, also went woke. The show is a Silence of the Lambs follow-up series following Clarice Starling (played by Jodie Foster in the 1991 movie and Rebecca Breeds in the new series) in her FBI duties after she became famous for catching murderer Buffalo Bill. The series features a transgender character and shoehorned the Black Lives Matter narrative into a recent episode.

One of the most recent Chicago P.D. episodes this year featured an argument between a black cop and his longtime white partner in which the black cop accused his partner of “hiding behind being white.”

In another case, ABC’s Station 19 shocked viewers with a brawl between firefighters and police outside a house in which black girls were being held by human traffickers.

The new NBC sitcom Kenan went in a unique woke direction by adding a segment praising the losing Georgia Democrat gubernatorial candidate Stacy Abrams.

Finally, as it has increasingly done, The Simpsons continues to descend into woke territory by hiring new black voice artists to take over characters previously voiced by white characters.

There are more examples, of course, as each show rolls onto screens across the country. But these serve as perfect examples of the wokeness network TV is developing.

Then don't watch

I beat them to it. I haven't watched a current network show in I don't know how long.


I used to watch The Walking Dead though. I don't even know if it's still on. Last I saw Neegan had been caught by Rick.

I like binge watching stuff though. Recently finished Start Trek Enterprise and now in season 2 of Star Trek: TOS.

After that I'll move on to TAS, then TNG, then DS9 and end it with Voyager.

Hopefully by then season 3 of The Orville will be ready.

I watch no network TV. Haven't for years, don't intend to start now.

For me I don’t.
I would think a bunch of folks don’t either since ratings are down.

Pro-America message. America is better when everyone is treated fairly.

Nah, it's douchey. It would be like you going to the breast cancer march screaming that all cancers matter.

I mainly watch programs where at least I'll learn something about different places like those living in Alaska, that guy fishing for monster fish, hot rod and classic car restoration, game shows (2 of them), etc. etc. I'll be darn if I'll just let those commies and its sympathizers lecture me on how to behave. When THEY behave morally then perhaps I'll listen to what they have to say, and now they're not even close to my ethics.

LOL, and then he comes back with a meme produced by Liberals. WOW, what a doofus.

I was at the gym today...had on CNN

Multiple racism stories...the Bachelor and The Royals...I switched the channel to FOX News. They spend hours talking about claims with no corroboration just to stir the pot. They suck

Gym we go to has a "local channel" only policy for the main TVs that every one can see. No CNN, no FOX, no MSNBC, etc. It's actually a nice policy.

HGTV. Learn something.

Unfortunately taking the 'then don't watch' approach is why we lost this war.

I know people who watch a couple of those shows. A couple of them are Democrats & you wonder why.

Local channels are just as bad they're really mini-Cnn's. Ours are.
