Barney Frank would like to ban House of Cards [View all]
Former Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank has never been one to keep his opinions to himself, and that absolutely extends to his thoughts on pop culture as well. So it's no surprise that he shared his thoughts on politically themed TV shows on "Conan" Thursday night. But his reaction to one series in particular was a little surprising.
It turns out, Frank doesn't just dislike "House of Cards," he'd like to ban it.
Though he's an advocate for free speech and he didn't seem as though his ban talk was very serious, he did expound on why he dislikes the Netflix series so much.
"It is the most inaccurate, misleading, and unfortunately, it gives people a bad idea," Frank said. "We suffer from people saying 'What's the point of voting? It doesn't do any good. None of them can be trusted.' 'House of Cards' just reinforces all of that inaccurate impression."

Sorry Barney. I do vote and plan to keep doing so, but I imagine real-life politics resemble House of Cards more than any of us really want to know.
