From the article:

Some of TV’s top executives from the past four decades may have gotten more than they bargained for when they agreed to be interviewed for a politically charged book that was released Tuesday, because video of their controversial remarks will soon be hitting the Internet.

The book makes the case that TV industry executives, writers and producers use their clout to advance a liberal political agenda. The author bases his thesis on, among other things, 39 taped interviews that he’ll roll out piecemeal during the next three weeks.

However, the ranks of dumb right-wingers has dwindled, according to Harris, whose video has her saying: “At least, you know, we put Obama in office, and so people, I think, are getting – have gotten – a little bit smarter.”

Another video has Leonard Goldberg — who executive produces Blue Bloods for CBS and a few decades ago exec produced such hits as Fantasy Island, Charlie’s Angels and Starsky and Hutch — saying that liberalism in the TV industry is “100 percent dominant, and anyone who denies it is kidding, or not telling the truth.”

Even seemingly harmless shows like Happy Days and Sesame Street have been used to advance a progressive agenda, according to Shapiro.

Other upcoming videos include: Family Ties creator Gary David Goldberg explaining how he tried to make Republican character Alex Keaton the bad guy but that actor Michael J. Fox was too darn lovable; and president of MTV Networks Entertainment Group Doug Herzog talking about his network having “superpowers” when it comes to its influence over young people.

There are also copious videos at the bottom of the page.

I read somewhere that 85% of political donations by ABC, CBS, and NBC go to democrats.

It's obvious Oscar the Grouch is used as a tool to make children feel sorry for homeless people

Book Excerpt: ‘Bring Her Down?: How the American Media Tried to Destroy Sarah Palin | Conservatives4Palin

At first, in their minds, the story of the election was supposed to be the story of Barack Obama, who for many reasons had become their candidate of choice early in the process.

But when Sarah Palin, coming out of nowhere with (in their eyes) inexplicable popularity, threatened their vision of Obama’s triumphal march to the White House, she had to be stopped, plain and simple.

If the story now had to include her, they would simply have to ensure that her part of the story was told on their terms—and that it was the ugliest, most vicious, most damning story they could possibly dream up.
The purpose of this book is to show why and how they created that story—and why so much of America, on so little evidence, was ready to believe it.

Is this the story I saw on O'Reilly last night? I thought that was focused on the old 80's sitcoms, like Family Ties. They kept bringing up Michael J. Fox and him being such a Reagannite and learning his lessons about human compassion, etc.

Heck, even back then I could figure out that the producers were liberal.

Not sure I'd call it subtly advancing an agenda, however. I mean, if it was, they did a pretty poor job of hiding that, imo.
