National Geographic is a sketchy company. Has been for a long time.

When you get right down to it, there really isn’t that much worth watching these days, if you have half a clue.

You have to suspend your critical thinking on just about any movie/television program.

I don’t watch the HBO created media. Either they have the worst promoters in history, or these shows are disgusting to the max.

The whole idea of watching a crime family’s inner workings, repulses me. And most of the shows look even worse than that in their publicity blurbs. Ah..., no thanks.

We have about 310 million U. S. Citizens these days, and HBO gets award after award for programs that draw from 1 to 2% of that. Anotherwords, if you go out in your community today and run into 100 people, one of them may be watching this trash.

These awards amount to one Lefty kissing another Lefty’s posterior, so they’ll kiss their’s in return later on.

Mob Family
Serial Killer
Anti-American diatribe filled newsroom
Gladatorial content filled Roman legion type stuff week after week
Homosexual focused wonderlands of sorts

I mean seriously, HBO hasn’t got the slightest clue what I might enjoy watching, and I don’t think it could develop more offensive content if they tried. Well, I may have to take that back, because they certainly are trying.

An example of the second item is McAvoy, who's a registered Republican but a “hyper-moderate” who “explicitly disagrees with the vast majority of contemporary right-wing causes.”

So in other words he's based on Boehner, McConnell and Romney.

The biggest problem concerning network news is not the news they deliver but the news they don’t deliver. Because they’re mostly libs, they’re super p.c. No news that deviates from or contradicts the tenets of liberalism is broadcast. They’re not broadcasters, they’re fraudcasters.

“In fact, the show's so riddled with disapproval toward those who watch Fox News, read the tabloids or enjoy reality TV that it feeds the cliche of liberals as smug elitists who reflexively look down on anyone who doesn't agree,” he stated.

If that's supposed to be a compliment to the viewers of FNC, I'd hate to see what a criticism of them would look like.

[National Geographic is a sketchy company. Has been for a long time.]

I did see a program last year sometime on Geo about glacial and interglacial periods on earth. Toward the end of the program the narrator said “global warming” was a controversial concept but one climate eventuality not in question was that mankind would experience another ice age.

A cliche that happens to be true!
