Is there a risk that the fascination with Angel Bauer may suck people in and unplug their critical faculties? Under the new ethos of "militainment" says media critic Adam Sweeting, “it's as if considerations of patriotism and national solidarity preclude any ethical or political questions” regarding any heavy-handed solutions.
While common people are at liberty to the views they fancy, this tendency will get worrisome when starts affecting those who vow to lead the way to others expose myths and dispel propaganda. Signs are already visible where media activists and security scholars fancy if Jack Bauer has arrived as the new Rambo to help conquer terror. Instead of questioning the creeping in of propaganda as prime time entertainment, some homeland security scholars asked Secretary Chertoff what role would he take if given a chance on '24'. Is this a new embodiment of the tail wagging the dog?
