The Lucky Sperm Syndrome

The premiere of the third season of the HBO show “Succession,” which you can’t read about without some mention of it being “loosely based” on the Fox News founder, was last Sunday. It’s the story of Logan Roy, his children, and the family media business. As a show, it’s fine and I enjoy it. But as honest commentary or even interesting satire, it’s terrible because the leftists who make it can’t get over their Fox Derangement Syndrome.
The show can’t decide if it’s a comedy or a drama, which is very similar to real life. But this comes from Adam McKay and Will Farrell, who executive produce the show, so they can’t help but hammer in left-wing stereotypes of what they think conservatives are like, to the point of distraction, likely because they don’t know any in real life.
Similarly, leftists do the exact same thing to the real Rupert Murdoch and his empire. Watch any 20 minutes of CNN and you’re likely to see 15 minutes of Fox News clips with liberals complaining about it in the other 5 minutes. MSNBC might have a 14 to 6 ratio. They really are that pathetic.
Having written about the Murdoch family on occasion before, I expected better from HBO. Frankly, there’s fertile ground there for satire in the real thing, just not where any leftist would look.
