In the latest issue of The Tyee, Shannon Rupp argues that the right-wing has it all wrong when it comes to America’s favorite torture guy—Jack Bauer. Rupp argues that the hit TV series 24 has, from its inception, had that is underlying message that is deeply subversive: “talented, moral individuals are always right and they shouldn’t just question authority, but ignore, or even oppose it when they feel their own judgment is superior.”
Thanks Shannon…this left-wing 24 fan feels much better now!

As a progressive who loves 24, many thanks for Shannon’s spin on my favorite show! However, the “talented, moral individuals…” quote is more than a little scary. Don’t let our President see this!
