The article on Katrina I posted in the News/Politics Forum kinda goes along the same lines:
"TV prefers a middle-class pleasure dome outfitted with a penthouse for the fabulously well-heeled (these days, Donald Trump occupies the J.R. Ewing suite).
Never mind that this sanctuary of TV affluence clashes sharply with 2005 Census figures that show 37 million people living under the poverty line."
"On TV, anyone who falls below a certain economic threshold is ripe to be depicted as a caricature, if not an outright stooge."
