This person explains why men are not watching TV. I listen to more radio, which is also condusive to doing other things at the same time.

If this pervert is running the selection of shows, no wonder they are not worth watching. Advertisers should take note.

I watched so little of the terrible programs on TV that I pulled my Cable service - saves me a big chunk each month and I'm reading a whole lot more!

That is a good idea and I am considering doing the same.

Until football season.

The medium always has been at the forefront of social change

Oh, for cripes' sake! Don't break your arm patting yourselves on the back.

Claiming responsibility for this society is at best a dubious "honor." But I'll willingly concede the BLAME.

We've just been through the worst experience with "The Reagans": The issue (the news channels) latched onto initially was the AIDS thing. When (the Human Rights Campaign) announced that Barbra Streisand, Neil (Meron, Zadan's partner at Storyline) and I were being honored this year, they took that and said -- on Fox News (Channel) -- that Barbra was behind "The Reagans," (that) she financed it (and) cast her husband (James Brolin) in the lead.

(In fact), Barbra had nothing to do with the movie -- she hadn't even read the script. Yet we're watching Fox News telling everybody Barbra Streisand was out to get Ronald Reagan. It was picked up on MSNBC and a little bit on CNN and all these talk shows. It was all a lie, but once it started there, I couldn't go to a Web site without reading about it.

I thoroughly enjoyed taking on CBS over that here on FR.

This interview is precisely why I do not watch TV except for sporting events, for now anyway, they are the only things I can watch without being inundated with liberal foolishness.

Homosexual Agenda Ping + They're Revealing Their Plans Alert.

Please, please read this one. They are fighting a war to the death - the death of the natural family and the death of traditonal morality. IOW, the death of civilization.

Sample dialogue:

"THR: Is television the ultimate tool for social change?
Barclay: I don't think there is anything more powerful. Theater doesn't reach as many people; films, even, don't reach as many people....
Fuller: It's lowering people's resistance to an idea: You make them comfortable with likable gay characters in their living room -- so they're not offensive and they don't make out on primetime -- and little by little, you get leeway....
Chaiken: I think even the people who are railing and flailing against this the hardest know on some level that (gay marriage) is going to happen. They might win in the short term -- we might really get hurt in this presidential election over this issue -- but in the long term, we'll win. And they know it."

Let me know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.

What We Can Do To Help Defeat the "Gay" Agenda ??

They are defeating themeselves with AIDS and all the other HOMOSEXUAL (not gay) created antibiotic resistant bacterias.

It is a fact of nature that the malformed and unfit weed themselves out and become extinct.

In the mean time, unfortunately, the homosexual agenda marches on and the "queering" of children continues.

But in the meantime they are propagandizing to bring as many converts down into the abyss with them. One of their main weapons is the Big Lie: That people are "born gay" and cannot change. That's why ex-homosexuals drive them mad.

Check out this thread on the topic:

Fuller: It's lowering people's resistance to an idea: You make them comfortable with likable gay characters in their living room -- so they're not offensive and they don't make out on primetime -- and little by little, you get leeway.

Straight (no pun intended :) out of their "How to Doom America" handbook, The Overhauling of Straight America^:

The first order of business is desensitization of the American public concerning gays and gay rights. To desensitize the public is to help it view homosexuality with indifference instead of with keen emotion. Ideally, we would have straights register differences in sexual preference the way they register different tastes for ice cream or sports games: she likes strawberry and I like vanilla; he follows baseball and I follow football. No big deal.

At least in the beginning, we are seeking public desensitization and nothing more. We do not need and cannot expect a full "appreciation" or "understanding" of homosexuality from the average American. You can forget about trying to persuade the masses that homosexuality is a good thing. But if only you can get them to think that it is just another thing, with a shrug of their shoulders, then your battle for legal and social rights is virtually won.

Have you shrugged your shoulders lately?

The queers and fagots actively and willingly encourage a lifestyle that is twisted and perverted. They cleverly promote behavior that is diametrically opposed to the Judeo-Christian principles upon which this nation was founded. Their promiscuous behavior spreads incurable diseases and causes agonizing death. Let's not lend credence to a bunch of perverts seeking to hijack this country's moral foundation.

Make no mistake about this... although they comprise, at most, just 3% of our population, they are one of Satan's most powerful and influential forces.
