#2“In some weeks, the “Live PD” universe accounted for more than 85% of A&E’s daily programming.”
Every bit of this story is grotesquely moronic, lol. I’d say they’re justifiably paying the price for letting their channel become so dependent on a single genre/show in the first place.
Also a reminder that A&E used to stand for “Arts and Entertainment”

“Basically, it presents a world that is much more dangerous than real life,” Taberski said. “It presents the police as being much more successful than they really are. It misrepresents crime by people of color — the raw numbers are about the same but the show front-loads crime, and especially violent crime, by people of color. And anyone who’s worked in television, especially reality television, knows that you front-load your best stuff, you hook people in the first act.”
Thus... this show gave Americans the incorrect belief that (1) drug crime is rampant (it isn't), (2) that most criminals are black (they aren't), and (3) cops are good at their job (they aren't).

Why did you have to go and remind me of that? I remember when that channel's programming was actually good. I to this day cannot understand what bloody happened that apparently necessitated taking a channel built around educational or informative programming and swapping all that out for... whatever TLC does for itself now.

For some people, authority figures shining their flashlights in the faces of poor people is entertaining.
Please do not disparage the opinions of others in such a snarky way.
