Law and Order SVU creating episode based on Roger Ailes harassment

>>105165

Considering Law & Order's tagline is literally "Ripped from the headlines," I don't see how this is /news/ rather than /tv/. And before anybody tries to go "muh librul hollywoood nbc fake news," Law & Order does all kinds of right-of-center shit, considering it's a blatantly pro-police show. During the Bush years especially it was glorified how the Patriot Act could be use to get library and phone records from *suspects* in criminal cases (having nothing to do with natsec), how laws would be manipulated and misused to strongarm suspects into giving up rights (and how even if they turn out innocent the cops would justify it with "well the asshole was having an affair anyway"), or just in general how cops acted like dicks with unnecessary force and profiling and how the show tried to justify it.

So yeah, L&O is if anything right-leaning, so don't get your panties in a knot over this /pol/tards.

OP here. I felt that this was news about news so it fits the thread.
I totally agree that L&O is right leaning but, over the years, it has questioned many issues including the death penalty, abortion, gay rights, legal and political corruption, etc. so it can lean both ways.
A few years ago, a filmmaker friend of mine was detained in NYC and got questioned with the good cop/bad cop technique, “…just like Law and Order”. He said he had a hard time keeping a straight face.

I still remember the episode they did with David Reimer. Shit was fucked up.

Its more of an advertisement than anything.

This was never the impression I got, having watched it since I was a teen. It presents sympathetic stories from both sides of the current culture war. They did an episode on 'gamergate' that sympathized with the transexual gaming journalist, for example.

Yeah, it'll be just as messy as the Gamergate episode and manage to piss absolutely everyone off.

Did they make a second one? The episode that /v/ loves so much (because it was hackers-on-steroids-tier) was about a female developer, not a transexual journalist.

That episode was absolutely hilarious and only pissed off the hypocrites who spent their time saying gamers were/are literal terrorists but then were offended by the episode because it portrayed gamers as literal terrorists (complete with a motherfucking ISIS-style flag). It was so over the top you had to love it.
