Again and again the left compare the modern era to McCarthyism.

They claim that the Red Scare of the 1940s and 50s was just that, paranoia. That the Communists (who stole the atomic bomb secrets from America) didn't mean us any harm.

Now today they lie nightly about the president, the administration, the war, and conservatives. They scare the public about Dem Evil Republicans.

OH it is like "McCarthyism" alright, but it isn't because of conservatives criticizing moderal liberals, it is because of the partisan witchhunt of Democrats attacking Republicans (elected and voters).

ENOUGH ALREADY.

End ZOGBYISM now.

Gotta plan ahead. Most networks have the outline to the show of every death they consider important enough to do something about, and of course a list of all the people and things for those outlines. Doing a two hour TV show with good edits takes time, the more of that time you do up front the better. The Pentagon does the same thing, they have invasion plans to every identifiable chunk of land on the planet, just in case.

Proposed theme for "Resistance"

by SteveH

In the months after a successful far right-wing coup in the United States (set in the near future), a diverse, multicultural band of Beaverly Hills public high school students turned refugees slowly organized themselves into an effective peace, environmental, and social justice movement to turn back the ruthless coup leaders, led by a failed presidential candidate named George W. Wallace.

;-)

The nets have filled their development slates with a bevy of brave ideas and bold format experiments......Says Fox exec VP Craig Erwich: "The creative community appears to be really inspired this year," he says. "It was an exciting time to be buying. I came away pretty encouraged about network TV."

HAHAHAHAHA

It's called "we have a reality show about damn near anything, and ratings are dropping, so we'll have to find something new. Of course, none of us are really that creative, so we'll just take an older idea like "The Stand" or "Day After Tomorrow" or "Amerika" (Hey! Kris Krostofferson is probably available) or "Red Dawn" or any of the old sci-fi novels from the 1960s and just change a few things and present this as "new". Hopefully people have forgotten the 1980s."

If we are unlucky, we'll suffer through a slew of books that retread the 1960s - 1980s "post-apocalypse" America.

You know the ones I'm talking about - hit up a half-price bookstore, and you'll see entire series devoted to the apocalypse/survivalist stuff from the '60s and '70s.

Actually, it may not be because they are running out of ideas (although I'm sure it helps), it could be that those Kirk Camron Left Behind movies maybe doing well, and they want to copy that (per the normal industry standard of copy anything that makes a buck).
