Michael Medved, a conservative radio host, covers hollywood a lot. He always quotes Barnum, or Bailey or some other entertainer that essentially says, "It is better to sell two tickets than one," as it applies to entertaining people. If you have a successful show, and you have an audience that is attracted to your show, shouldn't you at least show them some respect. Here is an article about the show Glee. Apparently they took a cheap shot at the tea party in a recent show.

I haven't really watched Glee, but the premise seems like something people from a conservative end of the spectrum might like. Why alienate half of your audience, just for the sake of a cheap shot. And no, it's not about not being able to take a joke, this seems to be just a cheap shot.
From the article:
The initial reviews of this episode are pretty lousy, even from the show’s fans. And they all seem to single out the Kathy Griffin character as a “dud”. But, none of them understand the real reason why her character was a dud. I’ll explain it for them: Because it was a two-dimensional depiction of a conservative that was not based in any kind of reality or truth. The character was a cartoon image of a “Tea Partier” drawn by a group of writers who probably have never had a real conversation with one of us.
