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."

“Hollywood won’t walk away from politics. The left wants to force politics into every single aspect of our lives -- from sports to movies to the food we eat. They won’t be satisfied until we are all appropriately woke to their struggles du jour,” Gainor told Fox News.

“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.’

Mr. Gainor isn't resisting the left very well when he adopts their inane, vile language like that. What a stupid use of the word "woke." Step One in trying to beat them down is to NOT fall into their trap of defining the language. As soon as you use their language, you are helping them set the agenda.

During the, uh, Ceremonies and the visit to Jezebel Town, I gave myself a few awards of the coveted `Woody’.
It seems like they are drawing it out too much though. I’m not as young as I used to be.
In the movie Faye Dunaway was a better Serena. And Robert Duvall as the Commander. Joe Fiennes is about as bloodless in THT as he was as a priest in the AHS `Mental Asylum’ season. Dexter’s old serial killer squeeze as Serena is good though.

Re-watched `A Night In Old Mexico’ last night. `Boo Radley’ was great as `Red Bovie’ and his Mexican novia was red hot. What a versatile, great actor.

I’ve been completely unplugged from Network and Cable since June 1. Reading books, internet news, and listening to selected radio stations. Don’t miss it one bit.

I’ve never thought the average Hollywood actor was very bright, but doing this after one of the worst movie summer seasons ever really proves the point.

The word Emmy refers to the statuette that's handed out during the awards ceremony. It was named after a camera tube used in television called an image orthicon, known to those in the industry as Immy.

Everybody knows that camera tubes are racist, therefore these awards must be stopped.

The Emmys are nothing more than a Hollywood Liberal Circle Jerk.

That’s about it. They’ll congratulate themselves for being liberal actors “acting” in worthless, completely replaceable liberal shows about liberal ideas with liberal themes that nobody watches or gives a flying f*** about.

F***’em, always, all ways, and every day.

Superb summary about the Follywood gays, drug addicts, lesbians and other haters of America:

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.”

You should read the book like I had to in high school.

Then you’d know that THT is an assault on Christians and Christianity.

If I ever see that thing on our TV it’ll be the last day we have a TV.

Most awards shows are stupid or boring anyway.

Had they not said Trump's name once last night, ratings still would've cratered.

People just aren't watching award shows anymore.

“Do you have cable TV? Why? It’s a lot of crap and propaganda that you don’t need. It’s easy to download most things worth watching. If you’re a television addict, then get an antenna for the damn idiot box.”

‘Gotham’

Awesome show! Forgot to put that in my list.

the actor who plays Penguin does the finest acting job today of any actor on network TV and it’s a travesty he doesn’t get nominated.
