They're supposed to directly insult their fans, costing them the very audience that makes them popular, just to make YOU feel better about it?

Seriously? You're asking them why they don't try harder to lose money?

Who do you think they made this show for? It was clearly aiming at a more conservative, more rural audience base.

Kevin Costner has a show on the Fox News streaming service, why would he do that?

Costner doesn't seem to care about speaking out

Well actually yes they do, but that doesn't make this right.

Why should they speak out against the audience? I'm confused.

politics has poisoned your mind and soul.

stop paying attention to politics.

the longer you stay away from it, the more you will realize how stupid it is.

I dont see why they should.

You may be told to think that, but deep down, you know you are wrong.

Is there really a need to?

What a stupid question

The Dixie Chicks would like a word.

Is this post satire?

We need this comment pinned to the top of the front page of reddit.

Wtf I read? Who the hell wrote this?

Money?

Gotta be right?

Redditors when someone has a different opinion than them

Because we need to have them arrested for wrongthink

The cognitive dissonance you possess is something you think you can hide but it will out you every single time you share your views.

I am too. Those are their customers.

It is shocking when a person or company does not want to alienate half their audience and cut their profits in half. OP honestly cannot fathom why they should Not get rid of half their audience and why not? So many companies are willing to get rid of half their customers.

I'm going to print it off and pin it to my shirt

I think this post is a straw man for people to complain about liberals.

Touch grass

Because politics. OP obviously doesn't agree with how right wing folks think and act. I'm not judging one way or the other, just making a comment.

Republicans buy sneakers pay for streaming services too.

I drive truck for a living and I know a lot of conservative men. One guy in particular keeps pushing me to watch Yellowstone. I actually almost stopped speaking to him and I actually did stop speaking to him for a while after the Supreme Court ruling on Roe v Wade. I know exactly what he wants me to watch that show because it is conservative leaning he thinks that he's going to influence me with that show.

Because there is something in that show about displacement of Native Americans that satisfies conservatives to believe that they are entitled to all of the American land and all the resources that it has without sharing with anybody else.

You should definitely separate it a bit from your entertainment, but you should still pay attention to politics.

Stop paying attention to politics? Lol, now i know why your Country is so effed up

Yeah I'll join the others here and ask: why would they? There are only negatives to saying anything and basically no positives.

Also, why should they? Just because they have a different political viewpoint from yours does that mean it's ok to stop them from watching television? Would you want the same if the roles were reversed?

... because that's their main audience? Like seriously I'm pretty damn left wing but it doesn't take a genius to figure out they don't want to bite the hand that feeds them so to speak. I mean seriously I feel like the only (or rather the most numerous and/or vocal) fans of the show tend to be the exact demographic you imagine them to be.

I feel like this is asking why modern family doesn't try harder to appeal to a more right-wing audience lol

I think you need to sit down and ask yourself some serious questions regarding how you’ve become such a worthless idiot OP. Get a life .

Money

This political apathy is exactly what the oligarchs are aiming for.

It’s called a boycott and all sides have been doing it before it was rebranded as cancel culture.

I hate alt-right idiots as much as the next guy, but cmon. What is there for them to disavow? Its not like the alt-right stormed the capitol with signs saying “WATCH YELLOWSTONE”. They can just keep their heads in the sand and pretend those people arent their main audience.

That said, Costner has a show on Fox News’ streaming service. Everything Sheridan touches is steeped in what gets right wing viewers off. So again, whats there to disavow? these are their people.

This is such a stupid question. Is this sarcasm?

Why? Because Money isn’t red or blue. It’s green.

Or Colin Kaepernick

Because they're not paid to speak out. They're paid to act

[removed]

its messed up because of politics, not from ignoring politics.

99.9% of americans are politics obssessed tribalists, so you proved my point.

oligarchs are always there in every system.

political bickering does nothing but divide and destroy.

if oligarchs want anything, its that.

Seriously? Lots of people watch Yellowstone and bc some might be conservative (are you aware of some sort of violence/destriuction done in Yellowstone's name by these allegedly right wing fans?) you want the producers/actors to say-what exactly?

Burying one’s head in the sand and pretending things that matter don’t isn’t an effective strategy for improving things.

It is effective at neutralizing the working class.

I used to believe that politics was boring and dumb, mostly because it is, but politics is also important whether some want to acknowledge this or not, and I’m embarrassed of my past self for once truly believing the sentiment you initially wrote.

You're quite the gatekeeper...

What about their huge left wing audience? Will they speak out against them? For whatever reason.
