Hollywood great and former Law and Order Michael Moriarty, who I enjoyed most in the Denzel and Meg Ryan movie “Courage Under Fire” along with the Eastwood Classic “Pale Rider” among many many others, rips the show for it’s obvious leftist propaganda.

Leftist drivel embedded in all of today’s network television which recently hit an “all time low” by accusing Fox news’s Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly of causing a lunatic to go on a killing spree or something along those lines during a recent episode, which I didn’t watch,(as I swore off Network TV during the BDS years) but have read about for weeks on other blogs and I liked this piece considering Moriarty is (A) a Hollywood vet from the right and (B) it’s inside view of the writers as a former cast member.

The Increasingly Left ‘Law and Order’:

Big Hollywood continued

“Well, I think I’ve been fairly calm and forgiving of Law and Order for about fifteen years. Living outside of the U.S. has certainly helped in more ways than one. Out of sight, out of mind. Law and Order has, for years, been just a press of the remote away from non-existence.

However, recent events have Law and Order just begging for my reassessment. I hardly expected my old television series to be the clown act that leads the American viewing audience into an increasingly predictable pile of hard left propaganda.

Why?”

Dick Wolf is basically a follower of usually high-level talents such as Joe Stern, Robert Nathan and Ed Sherin.

Those men, I believe, are no longer regulars on Law and Order.  The guy who apparently wears the pants in that family is now Rene Balcer.

That’s clearly the hypnotist in whose deep pink trance Dick Wolf is irretrievably drowning.

Given the number of truly talented people that Wolf Productions has fired – versus the number of mediocre puppets and propagandists he’s hired – it should be no wonder that not just the Left but the French Left of a Rene Balcer should be running things.

However, with Le Balcer (pronounced Ball-Say … Say-Whaa?) now the head Ringmaster … and Dick Wolf in some kind of quasi-retirement … or early senility … the show has gone beyond hell. Such a plight is possible if, in the inferno, you cut a deal with the devil. Balcer, as even his own words might convince you of, has worn the Red credentials … minus the horns, of course … for most of his life. Only Lucifer could give him his opinions on terrorism.

Wolf, on the other hand, has, for his entire life, been merely a careerist, chasing the unsurpassable achievements of his mentor, Steven Bochco, and being obviously surpassed by numerously more brilliant TV producers. Such careerism would infer that even his own mother’s not safe if it means the record-breaking survival of a Dick Wolf production. Law and Order will soon outrace Gunsmoke to the category of longest-running television series.

Methuselah was the longest-running star of the Bible … but I hardly think his memory brings either a smile or a tear to anyone’s eye.

Recently Bill O’Reilly took profoundly justifiable umbrage – a good word, Mr. O’Reilly – at Law and Order’s lumping his name in with other talk-show hosts, describing them all as “a cancer spreading ignorance and hate … they have convinced folks that immigrants are the problem, not corporations that fail to pay a living wage or a broken health care system.”

Well!!

O’Reilly called those charges “simply defamatory and outrageous,” and labeled Wolf “a coward” and “a liar.” continued
