That meme about how people always understand in movies which sides the resistance...
Well that's just it then..in MOVIES you see and hear everything on that side and it's prominently featured and promoted in said movies.
In real world they see the side promoted by the media and think that's the side of the resistance...
Babylon 5 did an amazing job with this. President Clark vs Commander Sheridan. News was taken over by EarthForce and PhyForce(?) with Bester. Bester was the best villain.
