I remember seeing a cable TV program about Duggar family about 10 years ago.  They had a bunch of kids and lived a very religious conservative life.  All the family members seemed normal on the show and all the kids looked to be happy with their life.  Couple weeks ago my wife was telling me that all the different TV shows and news were saying how weird and messed up all the Duggar kids were.  How they were brain washed by their parents and how the oldest child was not allowed to marry because she had to stay home to help her parent raise their little kids.  It all seemed strange to me because kids I saw on that TV show years ago all seemed normal.  Last week I watch another one of Duggar family show with all the kids grown up now and getting married and all the kids still looked normal in Christian conservative way.  
Is the MSM making Duggar family out to be weird/evil family because they can't stand a normal happy family with kids that are respectable and obedient OR are Duggars a weird evil family?

I don't know how oddly they may have turned out, but I find I am uncomfortable around most of the "Quiverfull" types.

Oh my GOD YES they are weird. The dating practices they subject their daughters to are practically islamic. The homeschooling organization they are involved with, Advanced Training Institute, is super culty and molesty too.

One of the sons molested multiple of his sisters.  I'd say that counts as fucked up.

My wife watches that show. I've tried to watch it a few times but I just can't stand them.

The girls are extremely hot though.

Having met at least 7 of them on various occasions, i'd go with "somewhere inbetween." You do have to counterbalance your initial impression and subsequent meetings with them with understanding their belief system and its insular structure vs your own more worldly ways.

So in essence, yes and no, depending on the size of the grain of salt you can get your hands on.

Yeap.   I trust semi-degenerate types more than the devout bible thumpers. 

Semi-degenerates don't have the bible and baby Jesus to shield them.

Junior is a deviant. Not semi-deviant. Deviant.

And that behavior is often learned.

I should of defined semi-degenerate.

Drink a lot, occasional enjoy substances of questionable legality, hang out in bars, gamble, go to strip clubs, have sex with women outside of marriage, curse, and don't lie about their behavior.  But they work for a living, generally contribute to society, and follow the important 10 commandment type laws.

Yep, ATI is a cult that controls kids with guilt and complete subjugation to leadership.   The old guy that ran it would always keep teenage girls that he recruited around "working" at his office.  Many have reported molestation, sexual assault, or harassment.

Amish women wear modest clothing for religious reasons, but the men don't go out and make IEDs and blow everyone up for jihad. Let that sink in.

Barring the perv brother, they seem like nice/caring people to me. I do get how someone who's a dick would think they're weird though. Weird is subjective.

Did John Walton pray the rape away?

Pretty much this.

They're cut from a bit of a different cloth than some, but once you see and understand the community from which they come, it doesn't seem quite so abnormal.

Its not my flavor, but who am I to tell a man how to raise his family as long as they are all fed and well kept?

The creepy pedobear incest stuff with the oldest brother not withstanding...

Similar with other large, fundamentalist religious conservative homeschooled families.

You can't manage a dozen + kids born a year apart unless you co-op your older children into parental duties.   Children need mentorship, and that is especially true when their responsibilities include diapers and bathtime of younger siblings.   Add in a healthy dose of religious fundamentalism and restricted social interaction, I'm not surprised their oldest son became a sister-toucher.
