Imagine supporting Israel!
Seinfeld the show was almost politics free: one episode had kramer and newman playing " risk" while on the subway and a fellow subway rider heard Kramer referring to Ukraine as " weak", then challenging Kramer. Near the end when jerry had sold the pilot episode, the then head of NBC in a response to elaine ditching him, quit and joined Greenpeace. maybe some more but i cant remember
Real politics is this: noted Trump supporter and maga hero Steve Bannon is, i believe, the holder of the Seinfeld franchise rights. while Bannon was working at an investment bank he engineered the purchase either of Castle Rock productions, which produced the show; or the exclusive rights to Seinfeld as a stand alone. either way, he gets a sizable check every time the show airs or dvd sets get sold. i dont know if actually viewing the show sets off any residual check bonuses or if the fact that its on and simply offered as a viewing choice gives same result
