Downton Abbey Has Been Secretly Turning You Into a Right-Winger This Entire Time
LatestHave you recently been wistfully wondering what the Romney boys are up to? Do you constantly find yourself shouting “free market!” at family dinners? Are you considering auditioning as a villain for the next Muppet movie? And are you also watching Downton Abbey? All these things might have more in common than you think — at least according to Fox & Friends who are claiming that Downton has been secretly working as right wing propaganda this entire time. Good thing I’m sitting so close to my fainting couch — oh, my god, I bought a fainting couch. It’s too late for me, friends!
British economic journalist Stuart Varney appeared on yesterday’s Fox & Friends to expose how Downton has been slowly indoctrinating us to right wing ideology. “Rich people, powerful people in America are reviled,” he tells the co-hosts. “They’re dismissed as fat cats who don’t pay their fair share…And yet along comes this show called Downton Abbey — rich people prominently featured and they’re generous, they’re nice people, they create jobs for heaven’s sake…and we love them…It poses a threat to the left. The left says, ‘You gotta hate these people,’ but popular America watches a show that says these people are okay.” And on PBS no less!
