When Charlie tells a reporter the president doesn't like green beans the staff freaks out because swing state Oregon is a HUGH green bean producer. To cover the story they suggest a photo-op of the president eating green beans with a drop-in line that the president is "always looking for green bean recipes."
Of course, on the show they realize that would be stupid. In real life the president's staff not only does it but the media lets them get away with it.
Reason # 54789 that The West Wing is better than reality.
