Emmys ratings crater; Trump-bashing to blame?
Fox News ^ | 9/18/2017 | Brian Flood

“The Emmys are a Hollywood bubble show," Media Research Center vice president Dan Gainor told Fox News. "Actors and directors get to pretend they are important because they are doing such insightful takes on life in America, when they have zero idea what life in America is for the other 330 million people."

“The Emmys celebrate shows that almost no one either watches or cares about," he said. "No ordinary Americans care about ‘The Handmaid’s Tale.’ No ordinary Americans watch ‘Veep.’

totally snubbed truly brilliant shows like Westworld, Silicon Valley & Game of Thrones, instead "honoring" hack propaganda by hack propaganda "artists".

emmys not about honoring talented folks telling amazing or hilarious stories; emmys are nothing more than another Hollywood leftist platform for promoting elite, leftist control of the peasantry.

Most awards shows are stupid or boring anyway.

At least the nasty, talentless Stephen Colbert has the satisfaction that we listened to his call not to tune in.

I get a real kick out of it when they’re trying to burnish someone’s record, and they mention that they simply got a nomination for an Emmy.

Winning one doesn’t mean jack to me, so “just a nomination” is comical to me.

Oh, we're awake alright, but they are not going to be happy what we woke up to. Hint; their hypocrisy for starters. How dare they tell us what to think, say, and do!? How dare they!

This ordinary American does. I don't care what anyone says or that I'm funding liberal Hollywood. This is a great show.

I haven’t watched a network TV show besides ‘America’s Got Talent’ and ‘Gotham’ for probably 20 yrs now.

The left’s temper tantrums have only made me support President Trump more. In 2018, I expect to see that I’m not the only one who is sick of them.

When it comes to Hollywood awards the term “circlejerk” comes to mind.

I wound up watching it and it was very well done. Excellent production values. They didn’t need to politicize it.

I don’t watch shows about shows. Not because I don’t watch shows, which is generally true, but because watching shows about shows is like watching your conceited relative narrate his selfies in depth.

"The left wants to force socialist propaganda into every single aspect of our lives -- from sports to movies to the food we eat."

Fixed it. It isn't just politics, it's lies, B.S. and pure propaganda.
