    What a load of trash. Can you imagine the uproar if this sentence had anything other than "white men" in it?

    Thanks to the Politically Correct nutters and Equality loonies, the
    only racism and sexism that *is* allowed these days is against
    caucasian males. :-\

    With Star Trek: Discovery, CBS Discovers That TV Ain't Easy Anymore:

    "Television: The final frontier. These are the voyages of the legacy broadcast network CBS. Its apparently never-ending mission: to explore strange new revamps
    of old shows, to seek out fully integrated distribution models and new revenue streams. To boldly go where, to be honest, a few other networks with studios and a
    couple powerful streaming video on demand services have already gone before. SHWOOOOM!"


    "There's trouble in them thar stars, though. The aim of TV networks—sorry, "content creators"—is to make good shows, reach a broad audience, and make money. Except in the modern era of streaming video, like the old saying about home repair, Hollywood tends to pick any two. As an experienced industry insider
    tells me, “television is on fire, and everyone is running around flipping tables.” With Discovery, CBS is, like some remote starbase, hoping the United
    Federation of New Subscribers will come to its aid. Will they?

    Three words: Shields up, everyone."
