I have to admit, the SO wants to watch Madam Secretary on CBS. We missed DVR'ing E1S1 due to some scheduling issues but caught E2 last night. I liked Tea Leoni in her role in The Family Man with Nick Cage, so I was also interested. I had not researched any of the background for the program but suspected it was spawned by Hillary’s term as secretary -- in other words the cast (including Frasier’s Lilith who I also like) looked great and it was worth a shot. We generally watch movies but if it’s a network program we usually record and watch later to skip the commercials but not last night. Within the first few minutes – CBS’ agenda was clear – a series long commercial for Hillary for President without granting equal time to any opponent. Tea's character was confronted with a protest at our embassy in Yemen and she quickly compared it to Benghazi. Sitting next to the SO, I blurted out OMG this is a commercial for Hillary - portraying Benhazi as the result of a spontaneous protest (which is still debatable). I said I can’t accept this and the SO got mad saying she wanted to watch the show. It was turning my stomach to watch such propaganda. The SO agreed to watch it later and we agreed on an alternative. My point is: When will the public wake-up??? We are treated as mindless zombies being manipulated by the press and networks into voting how they see fit. I still DVR CBS’ 60 minutes and Sunday Morning but am not going to subject myself to CBS' attempt to fool me into believing Hillary was our champion during her term as Secretary. I gave the show a chance and was insulted.

I'm not sure it's promoting the Hidebeast that much. I took the Benghazi thing to mean, "let's don't fuck this up the way they did Benghazi". And come on. The only resemblance that Tea Leoni has with Hillary is they are both Female.
