There seems to be a curious phenomena across the FOX empire. There is a reason.

...According (click here) to preliminary ratings from Nielsen, the drama's latest episode brought in 11.3 million viewers.
This number was up from the 10.9 million viewers the series had in its third week and stands as the highest audience so far.
When the series premiered back in early January, its viewership of 9.9 million was considered a success for Fox, a network in desperate need of a hit....

FOX is attempting to draw in minorities to their news network of lies and it seems to be working. Any reason why Ben Carson is being exploitative of larger stereotypes such as his comments about "...homosexuality CHOICE in prison."

My concern is not the overflow of viewers from Empire to the news channel, but, the lies currently reported as fact at FOX News is a concern. How many of the stereotypes on "Empire" are reflected in the news reporting on FOX.

There has also been a long standing movement within the Black Community to defeat stereotypes and the misuse of the black person image in media. As a matter of fact, some state the current tragedy of police shootings of young black men are directly related to the black person image.

One other fact about the program Empire, there is exclusion of Caucasian in the starring cast and the cast appears to be as much Asian in their features as their dark skin tone.

There is another ethnic program on ABC "Fresh Off the Boat" (click here) receiving some attention. 

I like live television and have mostly eliminated popular entertainment programs out of my TV viewing, but if there is gamesmanship within the popular TV market for political outcomes I'll have to pay attention to them. It is unbelievable the extent political paradigms are consuming the American viewing market. Such angles can return or make the worst stereotypes literally harmful to the real outcomes of USA minorities.

"Fresh Off the Boat" has an Asian creator so hopefully any stereotype will be eliminated.
