Johnson VS Stevens

I would have to agree with Stevens on this. She did a pretty good job of proving Johnson wrong. When ever she talkedabout something she disagreed with she made it interesting to the reader by almost making a joke out of what he said.  She also made a new point  against ine of his major point when he said "Not only does Johnson fail to account for the 16 minutes' worth of commercails that interrupt any given episode of, say, 24 (a show he singles out s particularly "nutritional"), but he breezily dismisses recent controversies about the program's representation of Muslim terrorists or its implicit endorsement of torture, preferringto concentrate on how the show's formal structure teaches to "pay attention, make inferences, track shifting social relationships." That was  avalid point and one I myself had not yet thought of until I read this article.
