Father Knows Best? Not if he’s Homer

CJ writes "Here
is an MSN article that outlines TV's worst and best dads. Naturally the article was written by a liberal woman who chose to take a humorous view of the grossly negative portrayal of fathers on TV for the past several decades instead of asking why fathers are bashed in modern media. Dads from vintage shows were omitted, as "we (she) had to draw the line somewhere." By doing so the article neglects to note that the state of fatherhood has been reduced to almost a purely dysfunctional state on TV. The author chose to add feminist issues that occurred on these shows mixed in with occasional compliments towards TV dads/men. She has no real interest in fatherhood (nor does MSNBC), then again, what feminist does? Take a minute to vote for your favorite dad."
