.zeeshanaleem: The right’s embrace of 'Cops' affirms what the show’s critics always said was true.
, allows law enforcement to use “Cops” for its own purposes. It should not be controversial to call it propaganda.
But while mainstream media networks decided that the show might not be the appropriate way to portray policing, Fox Nation takes the opposite view.
To some it might seem puzzling that a conservative news service would be so focused on shows about first responders of various kinds; theoretically they should be apolitical figures. But, in reality, this kind of programming celebrating and fetishizing police officers and firefighters is part of the right’s broader cultural focus on celebrating security and “law and order” — a dominant theme in the America right-wing imagination for decades.
The right’s embrace of “Cops” affirms what the show’s critics always said was true: that the show is not about giving the public real insight into how crime and crime-fighting really look. Rather, it’s a PR operation for an institution often at war with the most vulnerable people in America.
