Hollywood and the mainstream media have been portraying the Tea Party movement as racist and violent ever since it rose up during the early months of President Barack Obama's first term.
Never mind that the Occupy Wall Street movement set the standard for ideologically driven violence, and that whenever Tea Partiers gather they typically leave the grounds cleaner than when they arrived.

I can’t imagine it having a second season, like The Vikings, I think it’s only going to be good for one season. That’s probably the way they designed it.
Excellent show
I managed to sit through most of the pilot and could only handle about 10 minutes of the second show. You haven’t missed anything.
The only thing I watch on FOX is Hell’s Kitchen but, with every third word bleeped out, it’s getting annoying. Even FOX news is only viewed when something major occurs. In general, TV isn’t worth watching these dys. Over 100 and it’s all trash.
This is great news, at some point the left will get what they are seeking from the real tea party types, be careful what you wish for.
No, I’m actually pointing that if you are really that opposed to what they are showing, you are still paying them to play it. And I have no idea if I’m buying products of their advertizers since I don’t have cable to watch.
No, it's on FX, not FOX. The History Channel's Vikings is Sons of Anarchy on boats instead of motorcycles with a Jax look a like as the main character.
No, for the tee vee.
what is the problem that I am part of?
hahahahahahahahahaha....
Not that low info/0Phone zombies will ever care to know this - or any of our history.
The Americans hasn’t been too bad considering the fact that the show creators admit that they wanted to “humanize” the spies.
I guess I just don’t have a problem accepting that spies are human beings even if they are the enemy. It doesn’t make me want to support the Soviets.
This may make you even more annoyed.
You have the husband who really likes America but his wife does not see his views. Interesting. What cracked me up was that they started calling them “the Illegals” right after it was suggested currently in real life, by the regime and their MSM that the term “illegal aliens” should not be used.
If you love all of their programming and the messages they are sending, then you you’ re good.
Because it's really not that important to me. Honestly, I have a healthy disdain for Hollywood and celebrities in general. I do prejudge them individually as narcisistic, egomaniacal, self indulgent, phony, intellectually deficient, self hating liberals until I am convinced otherwise. Their job is to entertain me at times of my choosing when I want to be distracted from my important responsibilities in life (work, father, etc.). They are nothing but modern day jesters as far as I am concerned. Several have changed my mind (Charlie Daniels, Tom Select, and several more).
So when I do get into a show and like the writing, themes, direction and acting, I can groan and overlook some of the subtle political activism. I like "Family Guy" for instance. I do not care enough to put any effort into a TV show. If fellow FReepers sense some liberal activism, I'm out, don't care, won't miss it.
I have very little loyalty to televised entertainment. I don't get hooked. And I get turned off very easily by political activism when it becomes part of a sub-theme or plot. I see desperation set in when shows start screwing with the formula or start to try and "make a statement" or influence social behavior. It becomes a distraction. So if I detect some social agenda associated with a show from the start, I'm out. I don't lose sleep over it.
Again, it is not that important to me. I could care less one way or another. In this instance, deleting the shows before I have seen them will save space on the DVR and I have less to manage. Easy Peasy.
That sounds a bit radical and inflammatory. Do you have electricity in your bunker?
I think the episode about the Reagan assassination attempt was very good. The Soviets were terrified of what it meant in real life just like on the show.
Hey if you love all that stuff on CNN, MSNBC, FX and all the other stuff, good for you. Keep paying that bill. I’m talking to the people here pissing and moaning about all those things but keep directly subsidizing it every monthbecause there is one fake “reality” show about a pwn shop or other crap.
They kill for no good reason in a terroristic fashion and are lead by a wackjob, Islam.
I'm with you on that one.
You can measure the decline of a show by how the themes of episodes start changing. Burn notice had the perfect formula years ago. There was a complete story in each episode and a small sub-plot that ran from episode to episode as kind of a back ground thing. Then the sub-plots start to take over and the shows get more and more personal and less and less practical and/or believable until they devolve into a dramatic late night soap opera that runs a plot week to week for months until you end up with "Lost".
Suits went this way in one season, unfortunately. The writers forgot that the genius kid had a photographic memory that would be helpful to win legal cases. The characters all changed so the kid is a loser. Harvey grew a heart, etc. It became a soap opera wholly dependent on the previous show. It's not about solving cases anymore, it's about a law firm and their internal battles and survival.
NCIS has started down this road. Law and Order went this way and tried to recover when the formula failed. I quit watching Burn Notice after they were left in South America and the CIA tried to have them killed. Too much for me.
The Mentalist is in the same category but seems to be barely keeping some balance. If I find myself having to watch recorded episodes in order they aired to follow what's going on, I'm out. To much effort. :o)
