Madam Secretary: Ready (2019)
Another laughable episode filled with exaggerations and disinformation. PATHETIC
This show was great until Season 5. I don't know who they fired or hired, but Season 5 has had some of the most propaganda/narrative-pushing episodes that I've ever seen in a TV show. Like I've noticed (and reviewed on) with previous Season 5 episodes, this one is no different. Creating and pushing a false and one-sided narrative set on demonizing anything right-leaning and praising the left. So many discrepancies, falsehoods and unrealistic exaggerations. It's quite pathetic. If I hadn't already been watching this show for 4 previous seasons, I wouldn't continuing watching this. It was great before, and now it's a show with lazy writing and disinformation.
Madam Secretary: The New Normal (2019)
Yet another misleading, highly politicized episode.
In the episode, Jay Whitman said the US is the world's top CO2 polluter. This is entirely false. China is the world's top CO2 polluter, responsible for 28% of the world's CO2 emissions (2018 UCSUSA data).
This show continues to spew made up information, like the claim above, with no concern whatsoever. It's irresponsible and dangerous. This episode just hid the fact that China is the world's top CO2 polluter (by far), and you probably have tons of viewers who wrongly believe the US is now the world's top CO2 polluter.
Further information actually shows the US' CO2 emissions are DECREASING about -10%, while China, India, etc's CO2 emissions are INCREASING +150%.
Madam Secretary: Family Separation: Part 1 (2018)
Shoving a narrative down viewers' throats that never gets challenged here
This was the worst episode of the entire show storytelling wise. This episode exists solely to push a narrative down the throats of the viewers. Elements of the episode that are supposed to mirror real-life events are either exaggerated or just simply made up. And because of the nature of a TV show, and the bias of the writers, the dominant narrative never gets challenged (because they don't want you to see the other side), and this results in a one-sided opinion and a grossly biased TV episode. Completely irresponsible writers. Also, I find it funny how they're telling this story now, and not in 2014 when the cages were built (Snopes confirms).
