Have you noticed lately just how much President Obama gets his name mentioned or his agenda pushed by many shows on TV? It has gone way over board. It has become propaganda.
I thought that I had seen it all until I was watching The Biggest Loser on NBC the other night. I knew that they were shooting this episode in Washington D.C., but I was hoping that it wouldn’t be full of praise and worship of our president. It was, though.
Why? Why do we think that we need to elevate him above all? If the viewer didn’t know better, you would think that the Obama family was the only healthy eating first family in history. I don’t remember the exact words, but the trainers were “giddy” over the fact that this first family was such a great role model for the rest of the world by how they took care of and promoted great health. I didn’t know that smoking cigarettes qualified as healthy? I didn’t know that lying and corruption were a part of a healthy lifestyle, either?
Have you noticed that many of the television shows have the characters or participants showing the importance of volunteering? I have no problem with volunteerism. I volunteer at my children’s schools and at our church. What I have a problem with is other people telling me that we need to do it. The government telling me I need to do it. That isn’t how volunteerism works. People have volunteered just fine without the help of government and star power.
These are just a couple of examples of his agenda push. There are so many more. The president loves to see and hear his name. This is all a part of his master plan. Power can do some evil things if gone unchecked and unchallenged. Unfortunately that is what this administration wants and that is what they will have unless we speak up and act.
So NBC, CBS, and ABC, let the Biggest Loser and all the other shows be what they are supposed to be—entertainment not propaganda.
