CBS has now committed to using 25 percent of its production budget to produce TV projects dedicated to “BIPOC” topics — an acronym for “Black, Indigenous, and People of Color” — and will increase the number of minorities in creative roles.
The network has promised to flood its production companies with new minority hires, to produce minority shows, and movies, according to The Wrap. And not only will CBS dedicate 25 percent of its script-writing budget to what some assume will be woke programming, the media giant said 40 percent of its writers’ rooms on all programs will be populated by non-white writers. The network further promised that half the writing staff of every show would be required to be minorities by 2023.

The networks lost me a long time ago.
ReplyDeleteWho bothers to watch network shows anymore?
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell, when will this USA get it's backbone back? 13% of population and they want 50% of exposure on networks, movies, etc. This 25% is ridiculous and it won't stop there. Wake up people
ReplyDelete12% getting 100%
ReplyDeleteThats racists since it discriminates against everyone else.
ReplyDeleteDo they not "see" what's happening here?
2020 marks year 12 of being network TV free in our home. It's a blessing we bestowed upon ourselves. No cable, no satellite, no local channels, no streaming except for movies, and few of those, too, as the general quality of movies today is a bad joke.
ReplyDeleteOh heavens no! They're going to make a handful of pilots starring minorities and maybe even pick up one for a whole season! Whatever will we do?!
ReplyDeleteImagine being upset about this.
ReplyDeleteStop watching. Money dictates all.
