The Left is making a full push this year. For the first time Snoopy will no longer be shown on TV during the holidays.

Snoopy has a Christian theme to it and the Left has said no more! What a sad day. Who doesn't love Snoopy.

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️...yes, the "left" being Apple TV+ and the "left" saying "show me the money!!!"


[quote]A Charlie Brown Christmas won’t be aired on TV in 2020 because it will be available to stream exclusively on Apple TV+.
IGN highlights that Apple TV+ has struck a deal with WildBrain, Peanuts Worldwide and Lee Mendelson Film Productions, making it the hub for “all things Peanuts”.

The previous source adds that the service will also offer “a slate of brand-new specials that will find the Peanuts gang marking Mother’s Day, Earth Day, New Year’s Eve, and Back to School.”

So, it’s worth considering a subscription if you’re a Peanuts fanatic.[/quote]

@EuphoricTurtle Here's what blows my skull wide open: all the real facts about the apple deal are available from every news source out there. There are multiple people here commenting that apple bought the rights. And yet all these "I hate Liberals" people continue to talk about the left somehow strong arming Peanuts off the air for being too Christian. This isn't a country it's a madhouse!

@princessyaya at the very least it's an interesting social phenomenon.
windinhishair · 61-69, M
Which "The Left" made the decision? Prove the the person named "The Left" made the decision on the basis of the Christian theme. You remember tests in high school where you didn't get credit if you didn't show your work? Show your work.

@Stereoguy I literally showed you a graph with offical data and you still spew this bullshit about the economy? How it supposedly "sucked" under Obama and "took" off with Trump?

MntoNc · 36-40, M
@Stereoguy I was talking about Trump being a racist

You know when I disagree with someone I like, I try to be respectful. I'm very disappointed in you. I think it's wrong to politicize this. It has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with the estate of Charles Schultz negotiating a deal. Nothing more.

Apple tv bought the rights to the Charlie Brown specials and they'll be shown there, including during days when they're free to non-subscribers, so why don't you stop trying to stir up hate and rancor.
SwampFlower · 31-35, F
It is statistically likely that there are some Trump supporters at Apple. You can't call them all the left. 🤣
Piper · 61-69, F
When I saw this post 8 or 9 hours ago, I wondered if there might be some modicum of fact or truth to it. What I found in less than a minute of research on the subject, is what others already had.
I do know for certain, that countless left-leaning individuals do like...love the Peanuts characters, too. That surely does include Snoopy, and Woodstock. Not just the comic strip, but the TV holiday specials, also.
Peapod · 61-69, F
I am yet to see the Charlie Brown Christmas cancelled. Report back if that really happens.

This is love by people across the spectrum. I can assure you that I know quite a few left leaning people happen to be Christian too.
they do love sucking the fun out of life.
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@Stereoguy Lmao you’re reading this hilariously wrong - Apple isn’t saving Christmas, it’s buying it.

I would have thought those on the right would support the economic freedom of the Schulz family to sell the broadcast rights as they saw fit. That’s pretty much the definition of a capitalist free market economy. What is this nonsense conspiracy theory? Something happened that I don’t like so it’s the fault of liberals? Come on, folks. If you’re suggesting the government should control this type of transaction to benefit the public, you might want to look up socialism.

Don't people [b]ever[/b] get tired of this blame game? The left this/the right that, conservatives this/liberals that. Part of the reason the United States is in the shape that it's in is because neither side is willing to work together, which is what we should be doing. I wish people would just put their petty differences aside and act like adults.

I have it figured out:

1. You're a useful idiot who reads the first thing he sees on Fox, Breitbart or Proud Boys web site, and starts regurgitating it.

2. You have yet to figure out how to use your remote control.

3. You're too cheap to buy Apple TV+.

4. You can't afford Apple TV+.

PS: The left has nothing to do with it.

@Oster1 [quote]Stereoguy is one of the nicest members on here. His contributions are valued by many. He never has a bad word to say about anyone. Whoa, now. He also lives a life that many could only dream about but yet he is so modest, kind and helpful.
[/quote]

I'm sure, but I only give a shit about this post, because I'm responding to it. And in this post, he's accusing the left, which includes me, of waging a war against Christmas, using only his imagination and something he read on Facebook. That's not really nice is it?

[quote]I ask you what does your bitter post accomplish? Yeah, that’s what I thought. If he made a mistake, so what!!!!🙄[/quote]

Are you in the habit of asking questions and then answering them yourself? That's not really effective is it? Now, what do these baseless accusations of yours accomplish? I'll wait for you to respond.

[quote]I will not stand down and see a good man and my friend disparaged like that. I have had enough of this. I have no idea but [b][i][u]something tells me he would have problems filling up your motor home or even pay your taxes[/u][/i][/b]. Enough of this.[/quote]

Now you're just making shit up.

[quote]Just know, I luv ya man! I will not take this anymore!
[/quote]

So, then you agree, the left is waging war on Christmas, and using Charlie Brown as a weapon?

[quote]Let them read brochures.[/quote]

See, that's just it. I don't read brochures or make shit up, like the left is waging war on Christmas.

Oster1 · M
@Northwest My question is, how is all your bitterness working out for you?

I have been in business for all of my working life. In my opinion, just in the way you write and conduct yourself, tells me so much more. Done.

I would far rather have the executives who made that stupid effed up decision flown on a kite by Charley Brown, and tangled in the tallest tree during a lightning storm.


Let us pray...👃...JK, God.

I think you're referring to Charlie Brown Christmas. Apple bought the exclusive rights for all Peanuts. Jeez.


Toronto, ON; New York, NY – October 19, 2020 – Apple TV+ has teamed with WildBrain, along with Peanuts Worldwide and Lee Mendelson Film Productions, to become the home for all things Peanuts, bringing together new original series and specials, along with iconic, beloved specials to fans around the world, all in one place.

I don't know what this has to do with liberals. You can still buy the Charlie Brown series on dvd or watch it on Youtube, Apple+, Amazon Prime, etc. it's not like is outright banned 🙄.

These people...🤦‍♀️ These people are a lot of things, and one of them is killjoys. It’s like they love misery and suffering, and have no concept of joy or humor. Of course, the misery is not for them. They just impose it on the rest of us.

Not all Christians are right-wingers in politics.
The Uniting Church, Lutherans and many other sects strongly support justice in worker's wages and conditions, free and affordable education, medicine and social services for the poor, and stand against racism and all forms of discrimination. Admittedly, they would still be conservative on issues like abortion and gay sex.
SwampFlower · 31-35, F
@hartfire Yes, this is so important to point out. Proponents of prosperity gospel would have us all believe that Christian benevolence is dead. It is not.

Fact checking you buddy: They're not on broadcast TV because appletv bought the rights to show all the holiday Peanuts exclusively.
More right wing fear mongering nonsense.

Yes. They paid 345 million dollars out of the conservative goodness of their hearts. Had nothing at all to do with making an investment to bring a classic brand under their umbrella.
Crazy talk.

But keep up the cope and the seethe, that shit always warms my soul.

@Peaches It's not true Peaches. There is a lot of fake news out there and this is just another example of it. Until you see the show cancelled, don't believe a word of this. I do not know any group that is banding together to have a gem like this cancelled.

Ohh get lost! No Snoopy on TV? Sad


But then again maybe there is something new and different for the next generations to come.

@Stereoguy I do see a shift in the narrative Yes. And I see some people magically disappearing.. But..Another thing I see is a fresh crop of malcontents when the next President (whoever that may be) doesnt do a thing, because they cant. The economy is the economy, no matter who is President.. And Americas went over a cliff a while back. It just hasnt hit the ground yet.😷

@Stereoguy All Presidents have had flaws. I discount the personal ones, as long as they run the nation well. But Clinton made house finance easier to push a building boom to get America moving after the dot com bubble burst. In isolation a reasonable move. But connected to what Reagan and Bush 1 did with deregulation it got out of control and fuelled the GFC. Then Bush 2 bailed out the banks which seperated the rich from the rest and ....the beat goes on..😷
