Since I've begun following politics more closely, it's hard not to see the messaging in TV shows and movies.

Watched a crime show from 2010's or so (Bones), by about the fifth or sixth season it became "woke", the conservative Christian cop suddenly stopped defending his conservative positions, starts attacking fellow conservatives (who are now casted as being very bigoted, racist, and so forth), and there were multiple jabs at conservatives & Christian people.

Nowadays, run of the mill crime shows have it infused into the show from the get-go. Two examples: Ransom & The Rookie.

The opening scene of Ransom was a crazy Christian, white-male, bomber at a church. Out of curiosity, I looked into whether there was any basis to this type of bad guy. Doesn't seem to be, and if there were, I'd expect it would be the first thing I found when I looked. Instead, I found multiple attacks where Christians are targeted at churches in foreign countries, by bombers of another religion.

Half way into the first season of The Rookie, the first highly organized attack was from a "white supremacist" group. The second attack from an organized group was from a "nationalist" group, whose members were also all white.

Third example, sort of in between the Bones and Ransom/Rookie cases. Prodigal Son, was a typical crime show (like a mix of The Blacklist & Hannibal), first season didn't have an obvious super-woke themes. First episode of second season, which was released after the "summer of love", opens up with "systematic racism" being spouted by the black female cop, the tone of the show was way more somber, and, one of the victims was a black man who was framed for murder by cops & the evidence to acquit him was ignored by the Texas legal system because "that's the way it is [in Texas]". No basis in facts, if cops framed an innocent black man like that, and there was evidence of it put into the courts, that would be the poster child case for BLM (unless of course he was a known MAGA supporter). Instead, their "heroes" are often not-so-good people.

I sure hope this messaging stops in the coming years. Following politics is tough enough, don't need to be seeing it in the entertainment industry constantly.
