CBS AND THE THE LIBERAL WAR ON CONSERVATIVE WOMEN

Some of you are probably thinking, the war on women comes from conservatism. No it doesn't. I don't believe it's a stretch to say that Hollywood is run by liberals, and when they do portray conservatives they do it in the worst possible light. Do you remember, "All In The Family," an old CBS show, now considered a classic. In that show, Carrol O'Conner was supposedly portraying a conservative man named Archie Bunker. Archie had poor language skills, called people he didn't like derogatory names, while spouting conservative values. This is what Hollywood wants us to believe this is what all conservative men are like. But that is not true.
Now, these liberals want us to believe all conservative men are like Donald Trump, like Archie Bunker running for President. But, neither Archie Bunker, or Donald Trump portrays what true conservative men are like. In fact, neither do Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin or Alex Jones. True conservatives are being squeezed out of the Republican Party in favor of neocon warmongers, so it's rather easy to misportray what true conservatives are.
So, I don't believe you can consider CBS a conservative network. If they were they would not have any problem renewing Supergirl for CBS. At some point, they fully intended to cancel Supergirl. Why? It is one of the few shows on TV that portray true conservative values. The principles Supergirl portrayed are hope, wisdom and self sacrifice. And they are the core principles of true conservatism. Even Cat Grant was a strong conservative woman.
Imagine a female dominated show portraying true conservative values. Had CBS known Supergirl would be that kind of show, I venture to say they would have never put the show on. To show conservative values in a positive way is not something CBS would normally do. They probably expected Supergirl to be a bimbo with a cape. But that didn't happen. And, to make matters worse there was a Christian message to Supergirl. Throughout the first season, Supergirl picked friends she deeply cared about. She cared about the whole world, but there were those really special to her. In the finale of the first season, Supergirl was willing to sacrifice her own life for her friends. Folks, that concept is the foundation of Christianity.
So this war on women is actually a war on conservative women, and conservatism in general. And Supergirl, giving a message of true conservatism had to go. Consider Cat Grant. This lady worked her way up, and it wasn't easy. But she worked her way up till finally she has her own communications company. Folks, that's conservatism. Liberals teach you have to have government help, such as free education all the way through college. Or free healthcare. Here, in the middle of Supergirl is Cat Grant who made it on her own, with no Government help.
Can you imagine what the liberal leaders at CBS thought when they realized Supergirl was portraying a Conservative Christian message? It has to be cancelled. But, something happened. Supergirl fans went to the internet a raised cain. But CBS told a bunch of lies about the show. The ratings weren't good enough. Really? The fact is Supergirl was the highest rated new drama on CBS. Supergirl was the highest rated show on all Television among baby boomer women. For a new show, the ratings were rather good. A second season would just make the show better.
So, the lies about the ratings didn't work. Well, let's talk about the fiances. CBS told us about the financial problems with the show. It was an argument that even conservatives would understand. Problem is, that was all a lie too. CBS had one of their best quarters ever in the first quarter of 2016, and Supergirl was a part of that.
So, why would CBS even consider cancelling a promising new show with a lot of potential, that a second season would only make better? The only reason I can think of is content. Supergirl is a show that shows women, conservative and Christian values in a positive light. Unlike the other CBS show dominated by women, that is, "2 Broke Girls." The fact that bimbo shows like this get greater ratings says something about the intelligence level of the 18-49 demographic, the most targeted demographic by TV networks and advertisers.
Let's face it, if you are 50 or older they don't care about you. Vaunted preference is given to the young minds full of mush in the younger age groups. Shows like Supergirl do much better among baby boomers. By cutting off baby boomers, they are cutting off more than 75 million people. www.prb.org/Publications/Articles/2002/JustHowManyBabyBoomersAreThere.aspx
True, there are less baby boomers than in the 18-49 age demographic. It's because baby boomers have a higher death rate. What this says is, when we get to the end of our lives, TV networks and advertisers no longer care about us.
Baby boomers are more likely to like shows like Supergirl because of the positive message it has. Make her a bimbo with a cape and Millennials will love her. Also, it is baby boomers that are more likely to appreciate good morals, principles and values that we see on Supergirl.
So, in conclusion, CBS is a willing participant in the liberal war on conservative women. That's why they were going to cancel Supergirl. Moving it to the CW will almost have the same effect. CW is a smaller network with a lower viewer potential. The show, with it's conservative Christian message will be seen by less people. They might not be able to silence the message, but they will try to stifle it.
