In CBS’ season premier of CSI, teen heartthrob Justin Bieber plays “a domestic terrorist with Tea Party leanings” involved in a conspiracy to bomb the funeral of a police officer. Megyn Kelly brought it up today on Fox News:
Money quote from radio host Lars Larson:
[This episode] is designed to demonize the Tea Party in a way the Obama Administration and the Democrats in Congress have not been able to do with the truth.
At the end of the clip, Breitbart is quoted as saying this is an example of “subliminal propagandist messages.” It’s hard to see where you’d disagree with him.
It’s also hard to imagine 16-year-old Bieber was told when he was cast that he’d be doing the bidding of the anti-Tea Party influences at CBS. Exploiting Justin Bieber and the audience he brings with him to slime the Tea Party strikes us as particularly shameless, even for Hollywood.
