26. This could potentially be very important.
I suspect that there are a lot of people out there with misgivings about what is going on, but who are afraid to say anthing or even to trust their own judgement. Seeing these things brought up on TV can make them realize that they're not alone; that the emperor does, in fact, have no clothes.
