As we begin this review, remember the title question is \u201cwhy\u201d does the ABC TV series Designated Survivor survive?\u00a0 Not how.\u00a0 Like other TV shows, Designated Survivor had itself to survive the momentous event of Donald Trump election over ABC\u2019s preferred\u00a0candidate.\u00a0 Caught mid-script, the producers and writers of the show had to make some very fast adjustments to switch from a puff-piece on a liberal democrat president to a hit piece on Trump, the Alt-Right, and all things conservative.<\/p>\n
Designated Survivor is a terrible series in many ways.\u00a0 The storyline is absurd, the actors are so stereotypically wooden that it is painful to watch, the dialog would be judged ridiculous by soap opera standards, and the flow of the narrative is broken, incoherent, and amateurish.\u00a0 However, Designated Survivor\u2019s biggest crime is the assumption of the producers and writers \u2014 the dreadful assumption being that\u00a0the audience is STUPID<\/strong>.<\/p>\n If you are going to be a propagandist, at least try to be a good one.\u00a0 The left-wing progressive material contained in this mess\u00a0is about as subtle as a slap in the face.\u00a0 If you have the stomach for watching more than one episode of Designated Survivor, you will be treated to the following and more:<\/p>\n Yes, every hit on the progressive play list, and the list goes on \u2014 ad nauseam.\u00a0 Episode after episode, the writers, producers, and directors vomit a continuous stream of socialist progressive bile without regard to any attempt to make it interesting, rational, or palatable to anyone but their fellow travelers.\u00a0 I\u2019m sure Bernie Sanders records every episode and commits the talking points to memory.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Row” custom_padding=”16px|0px|5px|0px”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″][et_pb_image

Please remember that most of this liberal excrement flows out of the mouth of the former Jack Bauer<\/em>, Kiefer Sutherland.\u00a0 I suspect that Mr. Sutherland is performing a liberal act of contrition for spending so many years on \u201c24\u201d portraying a patriot, a gunslinger, and an occasional torturer.\u00a0 As an aside, I find it perverse that assaults like this on American values and institutions comes not infrequently from so many Canadians and Brits.\u00a0 Designated Survivor is filmed in Canada, so perhaps that explains it.<\/p>\n Designated Survivor<\/em><\/strong> Stinks<\/strong> \u2013 it is not worth your time.\u00a0 ABC seems much more interested in spreading the progressive message than entertaining its audience.\u00a0 It seems that ABC is well aware of its socialist mission given the fact that its handing out its writing and directing assignments to the faithful, as opposed to the talented.\u00a0 One writer is an ex-cameraman whose only writing credentials seems to be writing posters for left-wing protestors.<\/p>\n Designated Survivor<\/em><\/strong> is Ridiculous<\/strong> \u2013 for example, the premise is than a right-wing cabal literally incinerates Congress leaving the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development as the President of the United States.\u00a0 The new President assigns two FBI agents to investigate the crime \u2013 that\u2019s right, TWO.\u00a0 Furthermore, the crack investigatory task force works out of a basement apartment somewhere without access to the resources of the FBI or any other agency within the government.\u00a0 For the President\u2019s part, he\u2019s focused on whether or not he is spending enough quality time with his family, and personally assuring a mother that while creating jobs is impossible for any president, he surely can hand carry a new expansive background check bill through the House.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Row”

\/][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text”]<\/p>\n So why then does ABC leave Designated Survivor on the air?\u00a0 Simple, it serves their real mission and it fits their assumptions about YOU perfectly.\u00a0 The ABC mission is to reinforce the propaganda that the liberal-progressive agenda is the correct way to think.\u00a0 ABC must repeat and repeat this message and drown out any other message that might seep in from conservatives.<\/p>\n In addition, it fits ABC\u2019s assumptions about its audience, this is, that the audience is stupid, backward, simple-minded rubes who will watch anything no matter how ridiculous.\u00a0 ABC believes that anyone whose watching television at 8:00 has no life and no interest is anything but pickup trucks and beer.\u00a0 ABC believes it is actually being crafty about using Jack Bauer\u2019s legendary action hero status to draw you into a show that bleeds socialist doctrine.\u00a0 One can almost hear Channing Dungey (new ABC Entertainment president) saying: \u201cI know it\u2019s stupid, but the audience will never get it. \u00a0These people really don\u2019t pay attention, give them clich\u00e9s mixed with our liberal talking points, they\u2019ll never know.\u00a0 How else are we going to train them, these people are primitive.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
