I’ve been repeating this story for a while now.
Right after the 2016 election there was a panel discussion that included the creative teams behind all the biggest political shows on TV. House of Cards; Veep; The West Wing; Scandal, and all the rest.
Every person up there said the same thing; if they’d had a character who said that ‘he liked soldiers who didn’t get captured’ the networks and advertisers would have demanded that the character be shown as being hated by all Americans, and thrown into the gutter.
And that’s probably one of the more harmless things he said. He literally praised the Tianmen massacre for example.
