Welcome to TV’s Worst of the Week, where MRC Culture's on TV Blog recounts the top liberal bias moments in entertainment television for the week of October 17, 2021.

Other Odds & Ends

The Equalizer on CBS had an episode critical of Saudi Arabia in which a homosexual dissident was abducted and tortured. It's rare for Hollywood to criticize the Kingdom (because of major deals with them) or any Middle Eastern country (because Muslims are an SJW protected class) for true persecution of LGBTQ people. They’d rather complain about Dave Chappelle jokes here at home.

• NBC’s New Amsterdam had a dispute over the hospital lobby with the show villain saying, “I would actually like to treat conservatives for heart attacks rather than have the art in our lobby give them one.” Meanwhile, our bleeding-heart liberal hero ranted, “The Lenape plaque, the COVID Memorial, the Black Lives Matter mural.
