I might have mentioned this before but... What's with woke Jeopardy?

Every day they have an anti-Trump answer (or an answer with an anti-Trump question.)

I used to enjoy WOF and Jeopardy but this ruined it. (I guess I can blame Ken Jennings.)

7:30 is now officially BBS newscan time.

That ruins the game itself.

"Who were the All Stars Tournament contestants?"

"No - *they* were Amy Schnieder."

Kind of like MAGA, and FOX news brainwashing the GOP in "subtle, idiotic ways"..

I digress.

All media is. That's why I stopped watching TV and going to movies long ago.

And once you know what their goals were, you can see it going back many decades in the TV shows. It's just that they are more overt today where they were move subtle back then.

I agree that Fox News does it subtly, but I won't call them "idiotic." They are possibly the most sophisticated brainwashing outlet of all the media. They are even more subtle than Jeopardy. Fox News makes their agenda look a lot like it's for patriots while it's actually on a stealth mission to align patriots with rinos. That's a lot smarter than "Sources say Trump said the n-word!"

Wheel of Fortune is still pretty good. I was afraid that Ryan Seacrest was going to ruin it, but it still seems pretty neutral.

But if ABC is an indication of anything, fans should expect to eventually start seeing woke pairings of puzzles and categories.

Exactly. That's why I labeled them "controlled opposition" and treated their "news" like the propaganda that it is.

I feel like there are some good people in their studios who have their heart in the right place (like Harris Faulkner and Peter Doocy) but as employees of a leftist corporation, they ultimately have to do or say whatever the fat ugly Hungarian commands.

Which is why some people have left those organizations for others.
