It does seem that there really are powers that be, trying to shape society.
In the 1970s, black people were inserted into every show or ad. It’s great not to have a Lily White Television World. But it was just so cheesy. It was still Lily White World, with the one black guy standing by. I was a child, and I even thought it was ridiculous and unnatural. And on TV shows, black people were always the good guys, ALWAYS, to the point of ruining plots (because you knew beforehand the black guy couldn’t have done it).
And now it isn’t just gay people nearby. You have to familiarize yourself with their sex acts. The agenda used to be just the same rights everyone else has. Now it’s getting generations used to private acts done on TV in our faces. Which we didn’t want in normal programming for anyone, ever. Broadcast media is trying to change civilization, and they do have the power to do so, clearly.
There doesn’t seem to be any way around the media. Sure, YOU can choose to turn it off. Doesn’t help. You made a few kids and a bunch of grandkids, but that is it. The rest of the country has these shows on, and they are following the Media as they Pipe Our Children into accepting ANYTHING, good or harmful.
Very well said-the last time I watched network TV, it was local news, to check on the winter storm warnings in my area.
If the FCC were competent enough to exist, the most risqué show they allowed on network-other than the news shows-would be Dancing With the Stars. And no way any homosexuality or other controversial thing even hinted at-no politics, either-that would be real fairness in broadcasting. You want something else, buy satellite or cable TV...
