 The 78^th annual Golden Globe Awards aired on NBC on Sunday night. Hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler signaled in advance that this year’s production would likely be politics-free. Some of the stars receiving awards must not have gotten that memo.

Though often an equal opportunity lampooner, The Simpsons has a habit of every once in a while letting its left-wing freak flag fly. This week's episode had pro-Marxist and SJW leanings while also attacking crony capitalism, "right-wing trolls," religion, and churches' tax exempt status.

After demonizing the police, CW’s racial justice Batwoman has now jumped to demonizing doctors. Somehow, I doubt a world without either would improve the black community.

Liberal Hollywood is once again celebrating themselves, this time on the 78th Golden Globes on Sunday night on NBC.

An unplanned pregnancy catches Austin Fire Department Captain Owen Strand and his ex-wife, Gwyneth, by surprise. In the February 15 episode of Fox’s 9-1-1: Lone Star, titled "Difficult Conversations", the couple wrestles with the decision of whether or not to have the baby.

NBC has had a rough February, particularly when it comes to the anti-Semitism angle. The February 9 episode of Nurses, “Achilles Heel,” was pulled from digital platforms for its offensive portrayal of Orthodox Jews. The episode, along with the rest of the first season, already aired in Canada last year.

ABC’s For Life clearly wants to go out with a bang rather than whimper with its season finale. After straight up rewriting the Jacob Blake case a few weeks back, the legal drama is back to further demonize the police as racist and police supporters as violent.

In the February 24 episode of Freeform’s Good Trouble, titled “Arraignment Day”, white supremacists swarm Mariana Adams Foster's (Cierra Ramirez) app, ACT-ivism, which enables activists to organize protests. Throughout, a Trump slogan or two is thrown in with the racist hate to create a false equivalence.

Well, folks, it looks like it’s just open season for racism towards white people when it comes to the heavily racial -ish comedy franchise. New week, new hateful quotes about white people. You can almost bet on it now.

For weeks, ABC’s The Rookie hit viewers over the head with the evils of racist white cops, personified through Officer Doug Stanton (Brandon Routh). While Officer Stanton may be gone, the show is just getting started on the racial white guilt.

CW’s Batwoman may have a new lead, but the politics are as bad as ever. With several subtle victimization jabs in the past few episodes, the superhero series finally makes a bold move by supporting the ACAB (All Cops Are Bastards) movement. Again, this is supposed to be our hero, ladies and gentlemen.

When it came to the February 18 episode of Fox’s Last Man Standing, “Lost and Found,” viewers were treated to an episode which was atypical in more ways than one.

ABC’s The Good Doctor might want to change its name to The Woke Doctor. After previous episodes this season supported Black Lives Matter and abortion, Monday night’s episode, “Irresponsible Salad Bar Practices,” offered the double whammy of a pregnant trans man and systemic racism in medicine.

Another week, another offensive storyline from the -ish franchise. This time, the award goes to mixed-ish, once again. And this time, it’s surprisingly not about race, but about anti-Christian and anti-Bible bigotry, as lead character Paul (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) calls God “some man on a cloud,” and the Bible an “insane” “magic book.”
