Christians were slandered by Charlie Hebdo in almost every issue. In fact the most current one with Mohammed on the cover also contains an obscene cartoon involving the Pope and communion. They were equal opportunity offenders.
Right and that’s the direct and most crude assault on Christians (and Muslims).
However in the US, ALL media has been conducting a full court press on Christianity for decades...demeaning Christianity to the exclusion of all other faiths.
Every character in film, tv, etc. who the director wants you to perceive as backward, stupid, bigoted or mentally deranged, is presented and made to appear as a practicing Christian.
It’s insidious but constant and childishly predictable.
By now, there is a tremendous amount of programming that is impossible for me to watch, and I’m NOT even that much of a church goer.
It’s just SUCH bad media and SUCH an intellectually lazy, needlessly literal piling-on to express what we already know to be a pathologically inimical message.
I am certain ONLY the most inexpert and low IQ media types would write and produce material so blatantly subjective. Where is the ‘genius’ or skill in gratuitously reiterating, by now, entrenched hate, bias and prejudice?
It’s as if some neo-Nazi propagandist taught these people about journalism and media.
Maybe it’s just me, with my expectation of originality in entertainment, media, etc.
If I want propaganda, I know where to look. If I want entertainment, media, etc. which makes a contribution to the culture of the US, then it won’t be TV, magazines or films, which have become JUST a platform for the particular prejudice of filmmakers, actors and producers.
