There's really no way to explain the serendipitous timing between the State Department's bust of a Russian spy network and USA's premiere of a new series about a covert American spy, "Covert Affairs," except that the federal government nationalized the TV network. Clearly, President Obama was worried about the show's ratings and decided to use his power to time the arrests with the debut, so that "Covert Affairs" had great buzz and relevancy. The timing is too perfect to be coincidental. No independently owned network could develop a show for at least a year in advance, schedule the pilot's airing months ahead of time and then have the dumb luck the real-life spies brought. Not even Les Moonves can create this kind of synergy!
Perhaps the liberal lamestream media slept on this story because everyone was attending the weekly Socialist committee meeting when it was announced or was heading to the Vineyard for a long weekend and the administration released the news on a Friday afternoon, the perfect time for divulging an unseemly development like this?
Alessandra Stanley, in her review today of "Covert Affairs," notes that Angelina Jolie's new movie, a new AMC series, and a new NBC series, all coming in the next few months, are also about espionage. Uncannily timed trend? Or proof that the taxpayers, thanks to the most un-American president since Jimmy Carter, now own Comcast (NBC's and USA's soon-to-be owner), Sony Pictures Entertainment (the producer of Jolie's movie) and Cablevision (the owner of AMC)?
