Good Riddance To House Of Cards ???

Here is the opinion of Mary Kate Cary:

The next Kevin Spacey-less season of Netflix's "House of Cards" will be the last. To those lamenting its end, I say good riddance. 

I for one will not miss what I have come to view as one of the most anti-American phenomena in modern pop culture. With an upside-down American flag as its logo, and “Democracy Is So Overrated” as both its Facebook and Twitter themes — with 3 million likes and 2 million Twitter followers— our enemies couldn’t have designed a better way to undermine our democracy through entertainment and social media.  There’s a reason that “House of Cards” is so popular in China and Russia: it paints a dark, dystopian picture of America.  Is that what we really need right now?

I never watched House of Cards, and I do not intend to watch it in syndication (should it wind up there).

But I tend to agree with Ms. Cary - the last thing we need right now is another anti-US TV program. After all, the MSM provides us with that sort of perspective on a nearly continual basis. Enough is enough.
