Sadly, a good portion of our populace equates TV and Hollywood with reality. It explains so much of what is wrong with this country.

Sadly, you are so right! Radio/TV could have been the greatest teaching and educational tool in the history of mankind. It could have been the greatest advancement to civilization since fire, but it quickly went the wrong direction, devolving into mind-numbing “entertainment”, and little less. Now it is mostly a political tool, and in the wrong hands. Even most modern movies have a decidedly leftist political slant.
I have a female friend that is pretty intelligent on most things, yet she thinks we need a President like the fictional Jed Bartlett from the West Wing as president even though as I pointed out to her he is a TV Liberal President.
We now have a fictional idiot played by Martin Sheen as a standard of what some people look at as a real President.
As time goes on people will actually think we had a president named Jed Bartlett and long for his days in office. LOL
