I'm pretty sure ABC went to far in appointing a liberal woman as President on one of their shows. And I'm absolutely sure that NBC went too far in appointing two socialists as president on 'the west wing'. I don't remember hearing that there was allowed to be opposition to that kind of blatant political pandering on television without FEC filings being made.
David and Wayne Palmer were/are Democrats. That said, David at least was an honorable man in the mold of Harry Truman who was respectable even if you might not agree with him on policy.
A far cry from the real Democrats.
