Or police shows in general? Seriously wtf over the air tv is mostly police shit like 90%
I caught a bit of Chicago PD a while back and was pretty grossed out by how blatantly it paints cops beating suspects and taking shortcuts in due process as not only a good thing, but as necessary to get "the really bad guys." Also the episode where a scummy racist white cop randomly picked a black guy off the street to harass and that black guy ended up actually being being a rapist, murderer, drug dealer, or whatever.
Copaganda
Or national security spy thrillers.
Broadcast TV is basically cop shows, doctor shows, reality tv and news. I've heard more of each of these than shows about rich people. I think the article is an over-complaint.
I checked my local ABC affiliate. News is on from 3am to 10am, noon to 2pm, 4pm to 7pm, and 11pm to 11:30
That's literally the majority of the day on news.
copaganda shows, generic MD shows and firefighter shows that should be on A&E. the copaganda ones trying to paint cops in a positive light is so obvious considered the networks are all owned by conservatives.
nowhere near as good as 2000s LAW and order, svu,,,,etc. House, Firefighter is a strange thing to put on consider there isnt really negative light about them. Also that one firefighter show with the same-sex inappropiate relationship trope(dating your co-worker.)
...that's because only old people watch TV...
