    I’ve reposted this story so many times…

    After the 2016 election there was a panel discussion with all the creators of TV’s biggest political dramas; House of Cards, Scandal, Veep, The West Wing et al.

    All the producers said the same thing. If they’d had a fictional character say that they ‘liked soldiers who didn’t get captured’ the networks and advertisers would have demanded that the character be hated on by all Americans.
