I don't know what OP is referring to. Broadcast TV in the US is more or less the same as it always was, just with a lot of extra content on the sub-channels that is mostly reruns of old shows. Nothing subversive in any of it. You don't see the partisan crap that occupies subscription TV in the US. The only notable difference is that certain advertisers don't bother with broadcast so you never see their promotions.

Well, aside from all these stations:

I think Sinclair Broadcast Group is a big one, but I am just going from what I've seen when I went to visit my friend who had one setup. All the commercials were preying on people's debts, advertising for high-interest rate car loans, payday loans, those shady schools with financial assistance, etc. The show he was watching was a violent cop show where the "good" guys were literally corrupt and involved in organized crime. They were glamorizing cheating, stealing, hard drugs, etc. I couldn't stand it. Maybe I was too high, but it really creeped me out.

Okay, it makes sense to me now. Thanks.
