It would be difficult to name any other person - in politics, business, entertainment, sports, or what have you, who has done more to insult, denigrate, and destroy the moral compass of this country. Her television programs are wildly popular and she now officially has more money and influence than God.
The secret to her success? Violate every taboo, moral principle, convention, and expectation, usually via actors who are either beautiful or amazingly handsome. Ridicule people who are moral, religious, monogamous, and/or conventional. Indeed, turn morality on its head.
There are no normal marriages on her program - the idea of a couple that is heterosexual, mono-racial, faithful, and conventionally married is non-existent in her fictional world. The closest thing to a "normal" marriage is the "marriage" of McDreamy with Slut Grey, memorialized by yellow sticky-notes. Inter-racial adoptions are de riguer. Adultery is the norm - even among lesbian couples. Commitments are all written in disappearing ink.
(Light skinned) Black people are superior in every way to their white counterparts. Handsome men fall at the feet of chubby Black women (like Rhimes herself).
When a serious issue comes up - say, abortion - you can bet the farm that the people trying to prevent the abortion from taking place are wild-eyed, religiously-fanatical idiots. Same for euthanasia; the people trying to save the life are the unreasonable cads.
Change the channel, right?
But it is still a cancer. It won't go away; it will only get worse.
