I think you're onto something. There are four media orientated industries that have a lot in common: comics, pro-wrestling, soap operas and politics. Each one has extreme and passionate partisanship, comprehensive media coverage and tends to look at the big picture in black and white.
There are some fundamental differences though. In the first one, the hero saves the world. In the second, the hero gets the belt. In the third one, the girl gets her man. And in the fourth one, you get to invade two Middle Eastern countries and secure a strategic oil reserve. Or get a blow job in the kitchen of the White House if you're a Democrat.
