Reporting from Cairo
By Bev Conover

money and power.

What propaganda does “24” have in store this season?
Rightly or wrongly, the American temperament is most accurately captured through
popular entertainment. Pop culture tells us what middle America thinks, and what

voices for Bush's anti-war/police state "war on terrorism" to
nihilistic, angry, and decidedly anti-Bush fare.

Who benefits in sudden furor over Bush administration's domestic spying?

studiously avoided.
