Sorry, I don't think this is very important..



But important enough for you to point that out to everyone instead of just ignoring it?   


Yes,  it's important,   but only in the larger scheme of things.    It contributes nothing to the current gripe fest about Trump,  and so I can see why it holds no interest for you.

Respect to you, but the culture war is just as important as every other front. Moreso in some ways - it has a throw weight far bigger than it's size suggests.

Hence the adage,  "Politics is downstream from culture."

I would be shocked if they said anything else.   Why would you expect them to ever say they cancelled it over politics instead of ratings?   Of course they would never say that!   







Where did you get your information that "the Real O'Neals"   had similar ratings to "Last Man Standing"?   


I've watched a piece of "the Real O'Neals"  and hated it the instant I saw it.    I find it hard to believe that there would be much love for it from anyone.   




Noting that ABC is part of the Liberal Behemoth that attempts to control thought and steer culture in this nation is not getting "emotional and outraged over pop culture."   


"Culture",  as has been steered by left wing creators in Los Angeles and New York,   has been steadily driving us (conservatives) into political decline.     Having hours of liberal propaganda being hammered into the populace day after day,  seven days a week  will eventually move the populace leftward.   


What you are calling "Pop Culture"   I am calling "Massive Propaganda stream",   and yes,  I think the issue is serious enough that we should take it seriously.

I don't own a television set, but when I visit a friend's house this program is one she often watches, and it is kinda refreshing actually to not be blasted with leftist rhetoric.

She was very upset when I told here the show was being cancelled.

The Tim Allen character is overtly conservative,  in fact most might look at him as ultra conservative,   he generally mocks Liberal viewpoints mercilessly,   but occasionally the Liberals on the show win on some point or other.   


I know of no other show that presents conservative viewpoints in such a positive fashion,   and I can understand why your friend is upset.  It is a great show.



Liberal monopoly on Broadcast television is a threat to the nation.
