Not unhappy enough to make it stop. I beleive that shows like "Cops" teach people to accept police violence- it's always "in the right" and the "perp" is always guilty. Just another way that the System tries to make a lie of "guilty until proven innocent".
Fox TV is currently running a week of Really Exciting High-Speed Police Car Chases and Really Scary Police Shootout Videos. I doubt that the raid on Don Scott's farm is included.... On the good side, they're also running a few shows on privacy and identity theft, though tonight's edition mainly talked about getting of junk mail lists. And they run The Simpsons. On the somewhat hypocritical side, they've got a series of commercials about <some issue side 1> <some issue side 2> "Is this for the media to decide?" "our news is really objective, just the facts, you decide", while also running America's Most Wanted Thought Criminals and "Cops Are Cool - Heh Heh - Heh Heh". Thanks!
