The American Way: Mocking Dads On Television

Saturday, June 18, 2005

Can you think of one consistent positive portrayal of a father on prime time television since Bill Cosby’s Huxtable?

John Tierney can’t.

We can make our share of mistakes, but fathers aren’t nearly as stupid as we are made out to be on television. The decades-long campaign to emasculate men and to demean fathers has been remarkably successful. Its part of the devastating trend of the great disappearing father and the resulting delinquency, teenage pregnancy, increasing drug use, and much more.

Here’s one group, the National Fatherhood Initiative, whose mission is to restore the proud role of fathers.

Hey Rooftop MediaWorks. Very nice blog :0) I just got inside from washing and waxing my truck. It is my baby. Took me 2 hours though. So I settled down into my basement and started doing some web surfing. Anyways I am in the process of grabbing my masters degree and have spent the last 6 months researching guitar tab and chords. In the midst of my surfing I landed smack dab in the middle of your blog. I hope you do not think I am intruding but I must say it is great blog. Even though The American Way: Mocking Dads On Television is way off base from guitar tab and chords I found myself cruising through your blog archives for the last half hour :0) You have some nice blogging friends. Anyways, I need to get back to my mission. I wrote don’t your url and feel free to visit me here at guitar tab and chords. I am so busy so I can only update my site monthly. Keep up the great work.

Funny how the internet brought me here when I was doing searches on online guitars. Oh well, I am glad it did. Keep up the great blogging and I am sure I will visit The American Way: Mocking Dads On Television again!!
