Aaron Sorkin is a plagiarist. He stole THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT and THE WEST WING from William Richert and Kyle Morris.
See my channel for evidence.

Like you I've looked up many, many things from watching West Wing. As an Australian there's quite a bit of whjat's been called "cultural literacy" which I don't know.
One example is the SAT test scores. Another is a Fulbright scholar. But even simple things like bagels have never been part of my diet or my world.
But the really great stuff is politics and religion - what is meant by "agenda setting", the First Amendment, powers of Congress. A whole heap of stuff.

this is so true!! i know that there were times where i would watch episodes of the west wing and think to myself "what the hell are they talking about? oh well, they really know their political stuff!!!" and just move on with the show or look it up online (or in textbooks) to get a better understanding. to be perfectly honest, i learned so much about u.s. affairs through the west wing. aaron sorkin is definitely one of the best writers out there & i'm super proud that he graduated from SU =)
