Shows like Law & Order, NCIS, CSI, Burn Notice, etc. in which the plots are tightly based on current events, particularly those which fuel the paranoia that keeps fear alive. Dramaganda is the dominant genre of modern entertainment.
Some dialogue from a dramaganda show might go like this:
Gibbs: "We better find those terrorists before they recruit any more cub scouts."
Abby: "
I can find them if you get me more sub-atomic particles from the bottoms of their sandals."
McGee: "I'll go undercover to the cub scout meeting at the new muslim cultural center in the Capital Building."
