re: #252 Mocking Jay

They’re going through the news stories of 2011 for the last few episodes, and the way they explain each and every tidbit of information is aggravating. Not that they’re doing it in the context of the news program that the show is about, but these pop up in conversations between characters and it all comes off as way too preachy.

It’s a problem for Hollywood types. They don’t understand the deal-making that permeates so much of American politics. Real-life politicians are seldom preachy among the own type of people. Preaching would risk alienating the other side, and risk the ability to make a deal. They save the preaching for the public.
