Hallmark Channel Adding LGBTQIA+ Propaganda To Line-Up
One Angry Gamer ^ | July 21st 2020 | Billy D

Posted on 07/21/2020 6:55:03 PM PDT by Ennis85

If you wanted to watch something wholesome, healthy, and free from degeneracy you literally have no where to turn. Hallmark Channel, the last bastion for normal, sane, well-adjusted women to watch shows and indulge in their cravings for positive romance films, is now completely converged and will be tarnishing their Christmas line-up with propaganda attuned to accommodate the tawdry tastes of the Cornhole Commissars.

According to Apsari, Hallmark issued a statement about adding more LGBTQIA+ content to their channel, despite that demographic not even watching Hallmark.

In the article they provided a quote from a Hallmark spokesperson, who stated…

“Diversity and inclusion is a top priority for us and we look forward to making some exciting programming announcements in the coming months, including announcements about projects featuring LGBTQ storylines, characters, and actors. We are committed to creating a Hallmark experience where everyone feels welcome.”

This literally goes against the core demographic of Hallmark Channel, who are mostly straight, white women between 18 and 54, as reported by The Futon Critic. 26.52% of Hallmark’s viewers are 50 and older, according to Statista.

For years, Hallmark has dominated the Christmas season with surprisingly strong numbers from heterosexual romance films, managing to make the top 15 most watched cable stations during the Christmas, 2016 season, according to Deadline.

They managed to move up the ranks throughout 2017, consistently capturing the straight, white female demographic, as begrudgingly admitted to by the Washington Post.

Bill Abbott, president and CEO of Hallmark’s parent company, Crown Media Family Networks, told Forbes that their method of focusing on the target demographic has helped them grow, despite the rest of cable network television and ad delivery for other channels shrinking, saying…

“The demand for the Hallmark brand has never been stronger and we are excited to see the advertising community recognize our position as an industry leader, not only during the 4Q holiday season, but throughout the year,”

Again, Forbes had to begrudgingly admit that despite the media’s persistent attacks against Hallmark for not being “diverse” enough, the channel has still surged ahead in viewership and ad dollar revenue.

In the article, Forbes explained…

“Currently registering more year-over-year (2019 v. 2018) growth in actual Primetime and Total Day impressions among Total Viewers (P2+) and Households than any other of the 115 ad-supported cable networks in 2019 to-date, Hallmark Channel has also faced a few content challenges that had the potential to negatively influence their numbers. Instead, viewership rallied.”

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that it’s the last safe haven from the Rainbow Mafia racket.

Every other station, channel, broadcast network and streaming service is filled to the brim with LGBTQIA+ propaganda. There’s nowhere to turn to find wholesome, positive, family-oriented content other than the Hallmark Channel.

Heck, even channels dedicated to kids, such as Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon, have gone all in on promoting degeneracy.

Unfortunately, after the Rainbow Reich took aim at Hallmark for removing a lesbian ad from Zola, the company kowtowed to their demands and now they’re further spreading their cheeks for the Backdoor Bandits, ruining their offerings with LGBTQIA+ propaganda.

I imagine their 2020 ratings will still stay solid, but once normal people get a whiff of the LGBTBBQ propaganda, they will likely tune out of Hallmark for the 2021 Christmas line-up.

At this point, though, Hallmark is proving that they really don’t care about money but they do care about spreading degenerate messages for a phantom audience.

Some of the rhetoric in this piece is pretty out of line but I will say it is a pity that Hallmark has yet again caved to the left.

I have never watched a show in the Hallmark Channel but my viewership dies not decide markets. Hallmark will be right or they will lose.

This is great! Between trashy movies and sports that are crapping on their fans and the flag, Americans just might have to drag their fat butts off their couches and get engaged with the world again!

Read history books and crime novels, instead of watching Hollywood produced pablum and propaganda.

Your IQ will improve quite significantly.

Normal people won’t feel welcome.

‘LGBTQIA+ ‘? Now what meaningless, non-existent life forms have they added to their plethora of faggots?

He could have easily made his point without resorting to crass insults like “Cornhole Commissars” .

Grit, MeTV, a stack of DVDs and ClearPlay, classics on YouTube. Or, time to crack open a good book.

CEO's will say, let's see the numbers. Ok, looks good. Go with it.

Integrity? What's that?// Right and wrong? Depends on the ratings and sponsor money.

its not like Hallmark represents normal people...average looking normal people are not on the show...

every kid is sweet and smart and obedient..

every woman is stunning and skinny and always smiling...

every guy is handsome and so touchy feely...

its not a normal show to begin with..
