I don't believe I said so. But obviously there's a difference between
"content" and an agenda, my _question_ was about the latter not the former.

and that is fine and would generally fall into "content" in my book.

You tell me, it sounds more like content from here. I have only seen the
first episode, which I wasn't too impressed with, partly because I was
unsure about the agenda issue, and partly because I didn't think it was
very good.

But I sense from your post that you are taking this somewhat personally. I
didn't mean to offend anyone.

All the best,
