The television series 24 is in its eighth and final season. In the show there are numerous terrorist threats that take place on US soil. The one thing that is clear when dealing with who is mostly responsible for the attacks is that they are from the Middle East. Not every season has people from the Middle East behind all the attacks, but they do have that happen in four of the eight seasons.

I think that is a pretty clear message from the people who come up with story ideas. They either think the Middle East is responsible for every terrorist attack that happens in the world or they're lazy to try and come up with new ideas.

In each season there always other countries that help facilitate attacks, but people from the Middle East play the most prominate role. Nowhere in any of the episodes does it ever show a disclaimer saying that the events that take place or the characters portrayed are fictional and do not represent the true feeling of anyone involved with the show. I think the message is clear when doing these types of storylines that the people involved have something against the Middle East. I'm not saying that is right or wrong for them to have those feelings. However, when doing a television show I think personal feelings and positions should not interfere and overtake making a TV show.

While watching The Masters, Phil Mickelson was walking off the 18th hole after winning and went over to his wife and gave her a hug. This may not seem like a big deal, but both her and Phil's mother are battling breast cancer. The announcers were saying how Phil had won for his family. They then went on to talk about how this was a great for the family and I felt this was a not so subtle message towards Tiger Woods.

I found it interesting in the wake of Tiger's family falling apart the announcers would go that route when talking about Phil. The reason I am surprised is because we don't know. We don't know what happens behind closed doors with the Mickelson family. For all we know they could be going through some of the same problems. Tiger was caught cheating on his wife with numerous women. I'm not saying Mickelson is doing the same thing by any means, but we just can't say he isn't. To make him seem like a great family man and husband only makes it more difficult on him to be perfect and that isn't fair to him or anyone.

When you paint someone to be this all mighty figure who can do no wrong you set yourself up for disappointment. After everything that happened with Woods people should not immediately jump to the next person to be their role model or be the face of marriage and family in professional golf. Although it was nice to see Mickelson win considering what him and family have been going through let's be real and know that it was just a golf tournament.

No matter what happens while playing golf he still has to go home and deal with the real life situations facing his wife and mother. For the CBS announcers to try and make it seem like winning this golf tournament will somehow make it easier to deal with everything else and making him seem like this great family man is unfair to themselves, the golfer and the people watching.
