In defense of L&O, they also had an episode in which a black man killed a white man and tried, unsuccessfully, to use a defense of "Black Rage."

While I don't always agree with the view they take, overall I have found them to be pretty politically evenhanded. Even on issues such as capital punishment, you will have respected characters on each side. And they remain on each side, not the liberal winning over the conservative cretin to the correct way of thinking.

The big-three network shows make me sick. I usually don't watch their tv shows, but happened to sit thru a few hours last week.

2 episodes of Dharma & Greg had gays running around kissing & hugging each other
ER had some more lesbian dating combined with a gun-control agenda.
Of course all the previews had sexual references and lewd jokes.
Friends had the usual sex jokes and infidelity comments.

They think foul language and sexual references enhance their scheduling? What a joke.

bump As with all that PC touches ii is what is left unsaid that means the most.

I never watch any of these shows after seeing a few pieces. Give me something like "Nero Wolfe", where the bad guys get theirs, and I'm interested. The PC psychobabble junk is totally uninteresting.

And on the December 12 Law & Order, a racist, white man murders a black man in Manhattan, when the latter beats the white to a cab.

The problem with the dramatic incidents, is that none of them occurred

Exactly.

A black guy successfully hailing a cab?

So, why did NYPD Blue's writers invent a non-existent "hate crime"? It was to show that America is full of intolerant white people, and to give the show's "good" characters (e.g., angelic, black detective, "Baldwin Jones") a chance to engage in soul-searching about the darkness that is in even the best person's heart. But the real miracle is how tolerant Americans are.

Because we aren't nearly as bigoted as the liberals need us to think we are so that we will, out of mis-placed guilt, commit cultural suicide.
