18. LOL friend, of course it is propaganda.

Don't you realize that TV shows have two big functions. The first is to provide filler material between ads that will draw in consumer attention. The second is to act as a propaganda vehicle. It isn't for entertainment value, it is to promote the "American Way" and the values that those in power want the public to emulate. Thus we have a plethora of police shows, a multitude of selfish, mean-spirited dog eat dog realty shows, violence run amok, and that good ol' American standard, T&A, all very misogynist, all directed to subtly push the public in the direction our power elite sheepherders want us to go.
