Morgan Spurlock, the same filmmaker who made the anti-McDonald's documentary Supersize Me is out with a new show on FX called 30 Days.
Covering such topics such as religion, homosexuality, minimun wage, and the environment, this show is definately liberaly bent. In some shows devout Christians have to live 30 days as a Muslim, a conservative "homophobe" has to live in San Fransisco, and a bunch of "typical Americans" have to live "off the grid".
Read the synopsis of that episode and see the liberal bias dripping from the words:
Two 30-year-old professionals who are friends and typical Americans—i.e., ravenous consumers of fossil fuels such as gas and electricity—go ‘back to the future’ and learn to live without the natural resources that will be depleted from our earth in the not-too-distant future. To do this they’ll uproot themselves and move to an ‘eco village’ in Missouri to live 100% OFF THE GRID. As they set up house in a former 3,000 bushel grain bin, they will sustain themselves on a clean power such as solar and wind, recycle all their waste (both food and human), live in a car-free culture, grow and eat only organic foods and conserve their water use with solar showers and rain-catch systems. Can these fossil fuel addicts wean themselves from their consumptive habits without their lives falling apart? Will they thrive in a community that is the total opposite their New Jersey neighborhood? And will the ecological solutions they learn stick once their Thirty Days are up?
That write-up takes makes a lot of assumptions.
How about showing a Liberal having to live the life of a Conservative. Move a Left Coast liberal to rural America, make then get a job, go to church, attend a rally for America. Then we'll see who the fish out of water is.

Posted by: Wickwire at July 13, 2005 01:13 PMDid you watch any of the shows? Where the guy went to Dearborn and the lady from Iraq told of how Suddam killed two of her brothers. And a third was in jail for 10 years for no reason. As for the straight man who went to San Francisco....Who made a fool of himself while drunk? You have been to a gay bar, so we all know you are not homophobic. "30 Days" shows us to accept different beliefs, not force one's belief on another. In America, we agree to disagree.
God Bless.
