I guess NBC wanted to follow up on the wet kiss they gave to the Ground Zero Mosque during a recent episode of Law & Order SVU. The detectives were following up a lead and ended up at an anti-mosque protest. They proceeded to get into an argument with the demonstrators, mouthing the party line about how "it's only a community center" and "ever hear of freedom of religion?" Five minutes later they were looking for the bad guy, who was...you'll never guess...a member of a right-wing anti-government militia! Wow, who could have seen that coming? I can't tell you what happened next, because I changed channels.
It's getting so you can't even enjoy a little escapism by watching a TV drama. The networks seem to relish sticking a thumb in your eye.
