There was also the part right near the end of the article where this show was seen as an attempt to increase fear to justify an attack on Iran.
These people never stop do they? They are just so worried that people may catch on to their anti American cr*p. How a TV show (fictional) has that type of a fear impact is bizarre. After all, the RATS already know we are all too stupid to let something like this scare us.
The tremendous popularity of this show indicates that there are still lots of Americans who are on board when it comes to fighting terrorists. That's what they're afraid of. The liberal media doesn't want to lose any of the negative anti-war influence it has over the sheeple.
