Learning from TV Presidents

I haven't watched Scandal or House of Cards, but my wife and I did jump on the West Wing bandwagon . . . in 2013 (yeah, we were a bit late). In any case, there are some interesting points about how Presidents and politics have changed in their portrayals on television, and what that says about us.

For the record, I thought this article's author paints West Wing's President Bartlet as a bit too flawless, but the rest of the comparisons between the shows are insightful and fair. You can read the article here.
