      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.

      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.)
