Liberal Propaganda for $300: 'Jeopardy' Sells Out to Democrats
Newsbusters ^ | 05/10/12 | Matthew Sheffield

Does Alex Trebek owe Republicans equal time on his Jeopardy! game show? Answer: Yes, the show has become overrun by Democratic politicians and is only going to get even more politically imbalanced in the days to come.

Last week and this week, the popular game show, in which contestants are given clues and must provide the answer in the form of a question, has been presenting its annual "Teen Tournament" shows with young Americans as contestants -- and First Lady Michelle Obama presenting some of the clues. The show is being broadcast from Washington DC during the Teen Tournament.

On Monday last week, the show had an entire category of questions, entitled "American Grown" and focusing on healthy eating, with Michelle Obama giving the clues via pre-recorded video. Some of the clues were about legislation her husband had signed into law. Show producers also gave the First Lade time between rounds to promote her book.

Wednesday, the show featured pre-recorded clues by Vice President Joe Biden in the category "Cars in American History," which included a question about the car company bailouts. Between rounds, the show presented a video of Biden promoting President Obama's policy to raise the fuel efficiency standards for new cars to an average of 54 miles per gallon.

Is it a matter of Trebek flooding the show with Democrats, or with Democrats flooding the show with requests to be actors on it?

Perhaps Republicans should start a mail campaign on Trebek.

“Does Alex Trebek owe Republicans equal time on his Jeopardy! game show? Answer: Yes, the show has become overrun by Democratic politicians and is only going to get even more politically imbalanced in the days to come.”

Time to complain to the FCC until Jeopardy! invites real conservative leaders on the show as contestants and presenters.

Limbaugh, Hannity, Levin, Palin and Gingrich should all be on the show.

Everything on TV leans left. I hate it, but that’s the way it is.

The sucking up is PATHETIC.

I am beginning to hope that ALL of them go absolutely dysfunctional if their little deity gets routed in the election.

I want to see them screeching and crying, babbling, cursing with rolling on the floor tantrums.

I want them to believe the world is not ending but that it HAS ENDED.

Art Fleming was the REAL host of Jeopardy.

The week of May 14, Jeopardy airs their DC Power Players with Chris Matthews, Tom Friedman, Robert Gibbs, Anderson Cooper, Louis Black and other libs. The only Republican I recognize is Dana Perino.

I have long noticed a bit of liberal bias but then again, Jeopardy might be less guilty than most TV shows.

Typically any show on television or movies portray White males as the bad guys. Women and especially minority women ar always seen as the very best.

Why am I even saying this, everyone on this discussion forum already knows it.

I used to watch “Smallville” until it got unwatchable the last few season. It was almost amusing to see nearly every person of authority or respect such as Dr.s, Higher up cops, scientists, judges, etc. are portrayed as Black, very often as Black females. Sometimes they do let a few White females in on the fun.

Me: I'll take “Political Disasters” for $1000 Alex.

Alex: These people elected Barack Obama President.

Me: Who are American voters?

Remember poor Wolf Blitzer? He did as bad as fictional Burt Reynolds and Sean Connery characters.

The Media handlers are trying to make Obama “popular” again.

It’s not cool anymore to be an Obama worshipper, and these people think they can change that.

Hannity would be an embarrassment on Jeopardy or any format where his knowledge (or lack thereof) was to be displayed.
