I believe they are beholden to a religion which requires them to warn us about future plans of evil. In a sick way media is their method to stay consistent with their belief system without telling us directly. This is why it's all called Television Programming.
If you go to the root of the word "program" it states it comes from: "programma" 1: a public notice especially if posted; more historic applications:
(obsolete, historical, Ancient Greece) Any law, which, after it had passed the Athenian senate, was fixed on a tablet for public inspection before being proposed to the general assembly of the people. (obsolete) An edict published for public information; an official bulletin; a public proclamation. (obsolete) A preface.
Yep, here is his twitter. He cries about Covid a lot and praises lockdowns/mask/vax. He was also very anti-Trump during Trump's time in office, basically parrots all the normal TDS stuff, like Trump is a racist and other BS
After further research I found out this show was adapted from a Stephen King book. He would have been involved I am sure.
He also has a twitter with all his recent posts being about covid. He was also known for talking about Sandy Hook and the need to ban all firearms. Along with anti-Trump TDS style comments.
