Tim Allen’s sitcom “Last Man Standing” was cancelled on May 11th by ABC, prompting a Change.org petition in the name of conservative empowerment. The petition reads in part:
Last Man Standing is one of the only shows on broadcast television, and the only sitcom, that is not constantly shoving liberal ideals down the throats of the viewers. And sadly, that is likely the real reason the show has been cancelled.
The petition has received 350,000 signatures to date and has been filtered through various news outlets through their respective platforms. Sarah Palin predictably weighed in. Conspiracy rumors might stay afloat given that the fact-checking website Snopes won’t confirm that it’s an entirely apolitical decision. But even if the decision was based in part on political bias, critics are demonstrating a misunderstanding of TV dynamics.
