[@lisagulick4144]

@@JoshuaHopkins-j9o Actually, I did watch it. All seven seasons, on DVD. I think we may have two different views on what constitutes "propaganda," though. But as for a balanced discussion...what I meant is that there are often times when the President in the show takes a more conservative view on things (legalizing marijuana, for example). Plus you do hear both sides of issues, even if the slant of the show is liberal. (Further example, there was an extended discussion in one episode about the pros and cons of school vouchers.) Now, if you want to talk about mythology, we can always talk about Jack Ryan, the supposed "Arthurian mythos" for Republicans. I guarantee that no Republican President has ever been the Boy Scout that Ryan was (at least up through _The Bear and the Dragon,_ after which I got bored and quit reading the series - Clancy jumped that dam' shark by making him President).
