NBC Uses sleaze TV to trash Tea Party
Brent Bozell : If you’re a fan of the slick NBC series “The Blacklist” and you’re a conservative, you found a nasty surprise inside your program. The evil female villain that the good guys were chasing “fosters relationships with incredibly powerful people,” and you saw Photoshopped pictures of her with Sen. Ted Cruz and former congressmen Allen West. They trash the Tea Party even in little blips of entertainment shows. Disgusting.
NBC’s ‘Blacklist’ Portrays Villain Socializing With Tea Party Republicans

On Monday night’s episode of NBC’s The Blacklist, the FBI is shown going after a fictional international thief named “Madeline Pratt,” who actor James Spader’s character Raymond Reddington explains “fosters relationships with incredibly powerful people” and then “exploits those relationships in ways that impact national security.” [Listen to the audio or watch the video after the jump]
Photoshopped images appear on screen showing viewers the “powerful people” that Pratt is supposed to have connections with. The fake photos show her socializing with former Florida Republican Congressman Allen West and current Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz. No pictures are shown of the made-up criminal mastermind rubbing elbows with any real-life Democratic politicians.

When I watched the show I never took this as a put down toward Cruz or West. The idea was that Madeline associated with powerful, influential “good” people; unbeknownst to everyone she was a criminal. It was only super criminal Reddington and other big time criminals that knew the truth. To me it showed Cruz and West being the super good guys, like she could hide her true self even from the best guys. The idea of how good she was at hiding her true agenda wouldn’t have worked if they showed a picture of her with a guy you knew was crooked.
It is a tv shoe get over it.
