I originally posted this in Entertainment/TV and after 7-8 pages, Mod asked me to move it
When I watch entertainment, I want to be entertained. I do not want pseudo science global warming bull c**p on Madam Secretary or anti illegal immigration stories on For the People or Law and Order, SVU.
The news, on both sides, is crappy enough. I watch news during the day (both Fox and CNN to get perspective)....
I don't want it slammed down my throat on a "show"
The really sad thing is that a lot of younger individuals with not so great education take this a gospel and real!!

This is not a boycott call.
What do you think?
They have these neat little electronic boxes called "remotes" and they allow you to change the channel on your TV without getting out of your chair. Buy one, I love mine. Whenever Trump is on the screen, I hit the button, and don't have to listen to his nonsense.
It's all channels, but we want to watch the shows!
Well, occupational risk.
NBC really angered me in the early 90s to the point that I turned them off and even refused to watch the Olympics.
Turned them eventually back on and it was the conversion to reality that eventually killed a very healthy TV watching habit of over 20 in about 3, from 2005-2008. NBC was the last to go, with ER, but I really hated NBC's antigun stance, such on shows like ER, and I eventually turned it off.
Sorry you have reach this point at this time. When I came to that conclusion, the market was ripe for building a DVD/tape library which I have. I decide what I watch, completely, no other. There is, of course, streaming, but since I am out in the boondocks and have not, I don't know how political that is.
Quite frankly, I believe one of my reductions in background stress is because I don't watch TV now.
I gave up on them when Obama was elected. They were the Obama channel.
No late night Comedians. No SNL. Very little National News from the big 3 in the morning or evening. About to give up on the local ABC news station that was rock solid for 50 years.
There maybe about 5 shows I still watch on CBS now. Bull, Criminal Minds, NCIS, a few others.
The broadcast companies put on what people want to watch. That’s how they make money.
