Is The media getting us riled up for a woman president? or Some aliens that caused a Hurricane?. I don't personally believe in this theory but hey
someone might. What if the media is connected to the Gov/Mil in some way and they are slowly disclosing that the US has the power to control the
Weather (Katrina) and then tell us that aliens are coming and finally that a woman will be president.
Propaganda for a woman president? Coming from the network that brought us Dan Rather and Memogate, I can possibly believe that.
As far as Hurricanes/Aliens, not so much. Invasion and like shows were filmed long before Katrina, and in development even longer. They were
just green-lighted after the success of Lost.
Television copies successful shows and current events. You know, safe bets for good ratings.
I would worry more about the news reports for propaganda over TV programs.
