joepolitico.com — Knowing The Enemy: The anti-war left hates the Bush administration with such a passion it refuses to recognize how dangerous our enemies in the Muslim world are. Now they hate the TV show '24' because it dares to remind us.In fact, liberal outlets are calling it right-wing White House propaganda.

When the debate about torture was going on here in D.C., the most common argument for torture I heard was the "24" scenario. I was astounded by the number of times I would hear phrases like: "... but what if you were Jack Bauer and ... " or the ever popular "... yea! Like on 24!" I don't think the show is propaganda. I do believe that the show is so ubiquitous, that people now equate the show with real life terrorism. So, I believe that the show has a great deal of political power ( which simultaneously saddens and scares the crap out of me) and people should be made more aware of it.
