GAWKER is now a closed down website for liberals that many believe was the definition of "Internet Journalism". There was celebrity stalking, slander, libel, releasing people's nudes and sex tapes - and much more! Sure there was a legitimate news story or two thrown in, but those were mostly repackaged from other sites like The New York Times, which actually did the real journalism at the time. All the same, rest assured there was always a hardcore left wing bias to everything they did over at Gawker. Before it came to an end it seemed to try and give the right wing perspective a bit more, but in the end, died before anyone noticed. And of course Gawker kicked the bucket! Their opinion pieces were nonsense!

Gawker listed off LEFT WING TV SHOWS versus RIGHT WING TV SHOWS:


Liberal shows:
  • Saturday Night Live
  • The Daily Show with Jon Stewart
  • Real Time with Bill Maher
  • The Colbert Report* (Comedy Central)
  • The Simpsons (Fox)
  • Glee (Fox)
  • Modern Family (ABC)

Conservative Shows:

  • Rent or Buy (HGTV)
  • Buying and Selling (HGTV)
  • Blue Bloods (CBS)
  • Duck Dynasty (A&E)
  • House Hunters International (HGTV)
  • Love It or List It (HGTV)

In my opinion the right leaning show list is lacking and they should have added:

  • Walker Texas Ranger?
  • Everybody loves Raymond?
  • King of the Hill?
  • The Waltons?
  • Gunsmoke?
  • Dragnet?
  • Magnum PI?

Yeah, it is obvious they were struggling for conservative show idea when most of the list is just home buying shows. Your list is slightly better but I think shows like Raymond and KotH are politically neutral, meaning liberals and conservatives can enjoy it without being too offended.

I enjoy Blue Bloods but I agree it leans conservative, though they do succeed in looking at issues from both sides, IMO. Pretty much all shows before the 80s are conservative by today's standards, with some exceptions.

I haven't watched the show myself but I assumed "Last Man Standing" was a conservative sitcom since it is Tim Allen.
