I can name a few:

1) Simpsons (Homer stated he wanted to vote for Obama but the machine voted McCain instead.)
2) Family Guy (Stewie went back in time to Nazi Germany and had a pin on his Nazi uniform that said McCain/Palin)
3) Bill Maher (enough said)
4) Girls (Had the ad abouting voting the first time for Obama and compared it to losing her virginity)
5) SNL (To be fair they do make fun of all presidents, but not on the degree they do when bashing Republicans.
6) The Tonight Show (David Letterman is always pushing his liberal point of view on his audience.)
7) The View (Has Obama on there 3-4 times a year, and 4 of the 5 women always support liberal ideas)
8) Oprah (Ok, she is off the air now, but has a huge influence on the women vote as does The View.)

I'm up to 8, and I know there are more...not counting the news channels or movies. How many more are there?

They have this great thing called a remote, you use it to change the channel.

The Tonight show has Leno, and he's always seemed a little more Republican.

Letterman was annoyed that Romney wouldn't appear on his show, and went after him, Letterman was right, anyone scared of him and the girls on the View shouldn't be considered for a position where he might have to face Putin.



We do have several Fox run networks if you want another view, in fact many of those cartoon things are on Fox networks, and some of those show like Jersey Shore are just designed to appeal to younger viewers, I don't recall any of those children being political, mostly they were drunk.

I'm a liberal and I don't watch more than half of those shows and the comedies I would never take seriously.

I do think though that the Republicans do some very odd things, things that should be poked at, the lines about rape, and women shutting down their bodies? I mean how do you explain that away as liberal media? The man not only said it, he doubled down on it, and then a Republican judge in CA chimed in with a similar claim about women being able to repel raped physically.

Now that sort of thing does influence people, they should know what the people they support think and since that comes out of their own mouths, what's your problem?

Is it that you don't like how stupid they sound? So you want to blame it on Family Guy?

About as many as promote conservatism. It's TV. If you don't like it, change the channel.



During election season Last Man Standing whole-heartedly promoted Romney. I laughed at the jokes. Just learn to deal with media influence, because it happens on both sides.

I couldn't tell you. I stopped watching network shows years ago. My television hasn't been on a local television station for anything other than an occasional news broadcast or weather report in the last ten years. There's nothing of value being broadcast by ABC,NBC, or CBS anymore and certainly nothing entertaining for me.

The TV productions are only tuning into the market to make a profit. They can't help it if reality has a liberal bias.

Obviously it says a lot about liberals' intelligence if they're influenced by a tv show.
