Commercials and political bias

[z_ape]

Commercials poll.

 

[runkpanole]

I lean conservative, but don’t give a shit.

 

[GlenHawk]

Who watches commercials?

 

[UNIowaHawk]

Who the hell watches commercials? It's 2021 people.

 

[DFSNOLE]

I lean conservative, but don’t give a shit.

I lean liberal and share this opinion.

 

[JMNSHO]

By liberal, do you mean fake woke? Wokeness is about as functionally liberal as piety is conservative—both are mostly a show and not accurately indicative of the true character of the exhibitor.

 

[OrlandNole]

Write-in option: OP is a poor who watched basic cable.

 

[ConvenientParking]

I only really ever watch the commercials about turning into your parents. Do those have a liberal slant? They seem apolitical to me.

That's an... advanced... opinion

I tend to watch most of my television after it's recorded and I intentionally miss most commercials. Outside of actual political ads, I honestly don't think much of it, perhaps I'm a completely biased and a brain-washed sheep?

I know people that have complained, so I posted it.

Corporations are socially liberal and fiscally conservative.

Please, every type of people buy our products but don’t expect livable wages. Funnel dough to politicians and that’s today’s system.

I think commercials like this might be offensive to OP. I'm sure they are to some.

No. In isolation they're all fine.

But watch mistichivous kids. They're almost always female.

Or the judge or boss... almost always minority and more often than not female.

 

[SotaHawk87]

Who the F watches the commercials!?

 

[fivecardstud14]

OP's life must be terrible if he's sitting there watching commercials. Or just shitty at handling the remote.

Millennial social reformists. Now... I don't think there is anything wrong with portraying minorities in positions of power or significance. However... when every other commercial does it, it gets a bit bizarre. Trying to make to sure to not fall behind in the woke Olympics .

I was at a doctor's office recently and noticed half the magazines had black women on the cover.

 

[onlyTheObvious]

I have noticed since George Floyd a lot more African Americans in commercials.

 

[Formerly Rockymtnole]

It does seem like companies are overcompensating. Seems patronizing to me.

What percentage would you prefer it be?

I guess I don't understand the complaint.

13 percent of America is black or mixed black.

I notice numbers

 

[ATLNole1]

I lean conservative but don’t watch commercials.

 

[Red Hills Nole]

I lean conservative, but don’t give a shit.

As I lean "Liberal" but I do kinda "give a shit"

You have WAY too much time on your hands.

I don't spend much time watching TV. But how do you not expect political observations to spill into TV watching when we spend so much time bickering over them?

Would this be an overly simplistic notion : "Liberals say, I have lots of good things and want you to have them too and I'll ty to help, Conservatives say I've got my "Good" things without your help so sorry nut up and get it yourself.
