Slightly ot, but this is one of the reasons I have always felt like the law shows and csi shows had a rather obvious tinge of propaganda to them, in a way that is meant to normalize certain viewpoints. For example, how the accused in shows almost never have a lawyer present, or that the science is perfect, etc.
Shades of operation mockingbird.

Then realize how unusual it is. Most people do not have the critical thinking skills, or industry expertise, to grok that medicine or forensics or programming is nothing like the movies.
