Television vs. Politics

First, they [the anti-gay conservative groups] went after Spongebob, despite protests from creator that Spongebob is asexual.

From the NY Times:

The flap over "Buster" highlights what television schedules make apparent: while
gays may be acceptable on television in the evening, children with same-sex
parents are not very welcome in Mr. Rogers' old neighborhood.

It's scary how people read 1984 by George Orwell (and if you haven't... you're seriously missing out) and point out the violations on basic individual liberties by "Big Brother"... But when the media begins to become conglomerated... nada. Sure, I guess there were a few comments about Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" but the multi-network's conservative programming seems a bit... well... suspicious. I sense something big is coming up regarding the explosive social issues, especially after Dubya explitly said "men shalt not kiss other men, and likewise for women" during his State of the Union address. Right now, I guess the only thing we can do is to pray that none of the justices (except the clearly conservative ones) leave their position for any reason... Or hope that the remaining justices have some appreciation for kids' educational shows promoting diversity (and TOLERANCE)... and Spongebob.
