Like, REALLY? I watch "24" and find it quite entertaining. Never before have I thought of it depicting a "right-wing" fanaticism in "getting the job done."
This idiot is espousing about how it's so right-wing and the subsequent responses make it a bit comical (although some make my blood boil JUST A LITTLE BIT).
I mean, I don't identify myself with either Republicans or Democrats (I am a registered independent), but I am glad one of the responders stated that it is ridiculous to classify a show as inherently right-wing or left-wing. I mean, C'MON!!
Reading THAT much into a show?? Just state right out that you find it exaggerated or whatever, but don't try to say it's against your beliefs! I mean, SHEESH!!
And if we're SO obsessed w/our 2-party system, I chanced upon this little insight into what our country's really like these days...
And, umm, just to put this in perspective, NOT that I am supposedly identifying myself w/ANY one side (although I do, admittedly, lean more left than right--I would say I'm a liberal, but just find both parties repugnant).
"24" has had a black president and most recently a female one. Where have we actually seen candidates with both those demographics? the democratic party
just sayin'...
UGHS put it just frustrates me. I mean, Yes, FoxNews is the poster child for right-wing propaganda and sometimes super-uber-crazy, and using opinion-as-fact that sometimes borders on slander, BUT--that's its news station.
Its shows are actually pretty interesting and have nothing to do with agendas.
THEY ARE JUST SHOWS.
FOR ENTERTAINMENT VALUE.
So, omg, that there are people like that on the internet (if you haven't clicked on my 1st link, please do so already!!) just irks me.
I mean, seriously? Let TV be the realm of entertainment, especially w/fictional shows... We have bigger problems.
Oh, and it's because I started watching Season 7 and needed kinda a refresher/recap on all the stuff that's happened.
I looked up the country of "Sangala" and yeah.... so enough said. Debate settled!!
And those responders that took that person's attack on their beliefs and tried to turn it around?? Well you can suck it, too. "24" is entertainment. No more, no less (but I will say I believe it leans more leftist but that's just me...)
Also, torture is over-rated. So are lie-detector tests. My bf and I have a disagreement on that, but I mean... I have had more sources on that. And that's all I'm gonna say on that.
What we see on TV--it's fiction. If REAL Law & Order and REAL CSI was THAT easy... Don't you think we'd have all the right criminals behind bars already??
The point is, our technology is nowhere near that--torture leads to eventual confessions from anybody, and witness statements are easily warped. The human memory is not as accurate as we'd like to think it is. Witnesses are, frankly, unreliable. Unless they have eidetic memories.
But I stray.
ANYwho. TV is entertaining. I love these action/crime/mystery/thriller shows. So let's just leave it to that.
EFFING eff.
THE END.
