media taking chances?

Interesting that Atrios has a post about a new Dr Who episode referencing the Iraqi War.

I was watching Joan of Arcadia on Friday – actually a decent show, and I’m surprised that it hasn’t been attacked by the religious reich – and thinking how the latest storyline seems to be an allegory for the current Dem/Repub relationships.

Joan, who talks to God (really!), is apparently about to have to fight the Devil in a true “good vs. evil” conflict. All that Joan has on her side is the truth and her rag-tag, unorganized friends – the geeky intellectuals, the misfits, the artists, while the devil has money, power, influence, the media, unlimited resources, etc. All the while the devil is convincing the people around Joan that he’s a good guy, a “regular joe”, who just wants to help out the community, even though he is evil incarnate!

I think that the Dems should start watching the show to see just how to overcome someone like this!

The more I think about it, the more I believe that this can’t be coincidental. Who would think that the msm would allow this sort of reactionary work on the air in this day & age?! Maybe they'll have God lose in the end just to let us all know how hopeless it is!
