Sure, the overall point of view was liberal, but it was surprisingly even handed in many ways and did not pull punches in criticizing Dems.
It was a patriotic show in every way. The characters deeply respected the institutions government they were participating in and had a deep sense of American history.
but it was surprisingly even handed??? Every time a Republican was in the show they were shown stubborn old hateful stalwarts.
Knowing the history part was just another total lie. They presented the Democrats as thinkers, caring, wanting to do the best for Americans. In real life we all know that is total BS. They presented the Democrats as people you'd vote for which is a travesty. The whole show was one big crock.
I can't imagine anyone short of news junkies and political web site lurkers would have been interested in the West Wing.
