Medved's review is kind of a mixed bag, even though he gives it 3.5 stars:

REVIEW: America get ready. It’s time for Michael Medved’s Eye on Entertainment!
Two young cowboys get a summer job herding sheep on the Wyoming peek known as “Brokeback Mountain”.
(Audio Clip)
Of course they end up doing a lot more together than just drinking as they begin a passionate homosexual relationship that continues to dominate their lives even after they both get married and start families.
(Audio Clip)
That’s Heath Ledger who, along with co-romantic lead Jake Gyllenhaal, emerges as a probable Oscar contender in a film that combines an outrageously obvious agenda with undeniable artistry. Director Ang Lee infuses every frame with conviction and tenderness though the powerful ewwww factor in shocking R-rated male-on-male sex scenes will keep away most moviegoers. 3 1/2 STARS for the thematically disturbing but expertly crafted “Brokeback Mountain”.
That’s a wrap. I’m Michael Medved for Eye on Entertainment.

Well, at least Medved acknowledges that there is a clear agenda at work here, as opposed to some nitwit liberal morning show host on Fox News Channel who claimed that no agenda was being pushed by the movie and that it was simply GREAT.
Hollywood puts out a movie about homosexual men and someone has the stupidity to come out and say there's no agenda at work?!!! Chetry doesn't even realize how ridiculous she sounded in making that claim. I think she was trying to lure a few weak-minded folks to the theater so that they would come out singing the praises of gay relationships.
I've had it with Fox News and the media in general.
