Deadline ^ | April 24, 2019 | Dino-Ray Ramos

"Purples consume the most TV. They tend to take action based on what they learn about politics and social issues from fictional movies and TV. "

Help us.

[trebb]

More like TV shows the political divides between the producers and sane people....

[Paladin2]

“Blues” are Commie Causey Reds.

[golas1964]

Garbage in, garbage out.

[mad_as_he$$]

Can’t stand the Hallmark Channel. Do watch lot’s of the History channel except for the alien crap. TV is usually on Discovery or Smithsonian channels.

[hardspunned]

95% of non sports I watch on TV is black and white.

[Avalon Memories]

Two words: Norman Lear. Enough said.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

The only action that run of the mill TV shows cause me to make is to change the channel.

[Hieronymus]

So people who haven’t succumbed to brainwashing and actively resist it are conservative; people who have succumbed so much that they decide to go out and warp the world to conform with the brainwashing rather than just do brainwashing are liberal; and middle America watches far too much TV without having a clue about how the world should be changed.

God help us one and all.

And the Hollywood Reds denied ever trying to influence American political views.

[JoeFromSidney]

I have a TV. It's located directly across the living room from my reading chair. I can't remember the last time I watched anything. I'd rather read a book or surf the Internet.

[Dr. Sivana]

Can’t stand the Hallmark Channel.

My 15 year old daughter loves Hallmark Channel movies In her age group most choices in current programming are that or nihilistic snark. I am willing for her to opt for Hallmark sentimentalism.

[DariusBane]

The stupid is strong in the idiotocracy.

[Buckeye McFrog]

The Norman Lear Center

Well they ought to know. The biggest fans of All in the Family were conservatives who tuned-in to agree with Archie.

[Cincinnatus.45-70]

Any “study” with Norman Lear’s name on it is lying propaganda.

Well, unless the title is, “How Anything with Norman Lear’s Name On It Is Communist Lies.” ;-)

[oldplayer]

JoeFrom Sidney, EXACTLY. We haven’t had a television of any sort since 1996. We’ve survived!

[rightwingintelligentsia]

I pay for cable but aside from the local news (which I only tolerate for the weather reports) the TV is rarely on in my house except on weekends, when my BF insists on watching FoxNews and a few assorted History channel shows.

I prefer to watch pre-1950s movies on the internet.

[Tired of Taxes]

Interesting. I never watch TV shows. Just read the news.

Once in a while, I watch a movie.

Last week, watched an entire 12-part history series.

I just thought that meant I was boring.

[Avalon Memories]

Yep :)
