True story. After the 2016 election, there was a panel discussion with the creators of House of Cards, Scandal, The West Wing, and all the other US political TV shows. All the participants said the same thing; if they’d had a character denigrate American POWs the way Trump did in real life, the networks and advertisers would have demanded that the character be treated like a pariah on the show. We’re already beyond anything fictional TV could allow.
