Earlier, I recorded tonight's episode of "Proven Innocent". And I'm watching it now. It's not a great show; I doubt it'll be renewed. But it's curiously typical of many Fox Entertainment shows nowadays.

Briefly, it's about a woman who was wrongly accused, with her brother, of killing a high school friend called Rosemary. They were both convicted, and spent ten years in prison. While there, she got a GED and a college degree, and when she got out, she became a lawyer. But of course many don't believe she's really innocent. They would include a prominent Chicago politician and lawyer who is, for the purposes of the show, her archenemy.

Naturally she fights for underdogs and the wrongly accused, many of whom might be considered bad people in today's society. Tonight's episode is about transgenders. It makes an emotional case for tolerance and understanding.

Amazing how VERY different Fox Entertainment is from Fox News. Really odd. And this show isn't the only one. We also have "The Resident", a fairly decent hospital drama. It seeks to portray hospital administrators as venal crooks who take drugs, experiment on patients, and rake in millions to the detriment of the larger community.

So... Do the people who watch Fox News also watch Fox dramas? If so, what conclusions do they draw?
