Near the end of Tuesday’s CBS "Early Show" there was a taped segment of co-host Julie Chen talking to the executive producer of the CBS reality show "Big Brother," Allison Grodner, who previewed some of the contestants in the show’s new season: "Dan is a Catholic school teacher from Michigan. He really doesn't think women are equal. And he felt really strongly, especially, about the possibility that Hillary Clinton would have become president. He said he would have left the country. And he was dead serious about that."
After describing the stereotypical conservative white male, Grodner went on to describe an Obama supporter on the show, a young Afircan-American woman: "Libra is the rebel mom and strong opinions, very liberal. She's the Obama girl in Bush country." Just prior to that description of the "rebel Obama girl" a clip was played of the conservative Dan explaining his opposition to Obama: "My only concern is Barack Obama is wildy charismatic, has a huge aura around him. Which, if you're not very educated, you may vote for him just because, you know, he's more charismatic."
"Big Brother," which is hosted by Chen, seems to be taking a political angle this season. Watch video of cast preview here.

News media looks long and
Tue, 07/08/2008 - 14:37 ET by kgNews media looks long and hard for the very very few that have extreme views that is against the media's agenda and is considered proof that their views are the only correct views to have.

Tue, 07/08/2008 - 15:53 ET by bradbenj5952The MSM does not have to look hard at all to find any man or woman who believes that men and women are not equal. This is not an "extreme view". Two things that are the same are equal. Two things that different are not equal. If you mean they have equal protection under the law then they have equal protection under the law. What the MSM and many others cannot stand is the notion that somehow men and women were created for different purposes. If I say that the woman should not have authority over the man, which is a biblical teaching to which the "Catholic white male teacher" may be referring, would you consider that an extreme view?
Most of the producers, actors, etc. in media are unbelievers who worship the dollar and care nothing about pleasing God. So what was said above is typical, no surprise, expected, in other words, the old saw from the "yeah, hath God said" society.

Sounds Familiar
Tue, 07/08/2008 - 14:49 ET by exLibA year or so ago TNT, I think, tried to do a Gilligan's Island reality show.
They cast "real" people as the characters from the show; Actually the "contest" was that there were 2 versions of each character (ie; 2 skippers) but only 1 would win.
Anyhoo. They cast The Howell's as the Hollywood leftist version of the rich snobby conservative and Gilligan as a lefty gay guy. "Mrs. Howell" was constantly was mean and nasty and "Gilligan" was over-the-top flaming.

Tue, 07/08/2008 - 16:17 ET by SickofLibsYeah, that screencap brought about the dreaded GRS (Gonad Retreat Syndrome).
Looks like a nice diverse cast tho; the Brokeback Mountain cowboy and the WWII vet are sure to become BFFs.

Ah, they should have gone ahead and just named the "Dan" villain conservative character "Snidely Whiplash", complete with a thin mustache, cape, and top hat...

I am so weary of all of this, I didn't even want to respond.
The constant barrage of obvious bias is getting so old...
I will have to wait a few days to get rejuvenated...
It truly becomes tiring with these leftists.
Past maddening at times.

The "sophisticated" liberal writers seem to be as painfully slapstick and simplistic as old time cartoon makers. They might as well go all the way.

Big Brother is rigged?
Tue, 07/08/2008 - 16:38 ET by d1carterI watched one season of this show and realized that Allison Grodner and her cronies rigged the outcome of the show. Don't watch that crap anymore...
One Example
Tue, 07/08/2008 - 20:45 ET by Repeal 16-17The broadcast networks, HBO, and Showtime will show tons of Liberal propaganda. They want The Liberal Messiah to win, and will do whatever they can to make it so. Big Brother is simply one example of this.
Wait...
Wed, 07/09/2008 - 13:58 ET by Solid Snake...Big Brother is still on the air? People will watch anything, I guess.
God bless
