Pushing their agenda: "You wouldn't download a car"?

Not covering other agendas: basically any news agency ever that only covers one side of a story (e.g. anti-gun-control news stations only reporting positive gun news, pro-gun-control stations only reporting negative gun news, no news stations reporting on anything outside the viewer-driving manufactured hot button issues). Another example, though this is an isolated case, there was a station in Nevada during the 2008 campaign season that only showed the polling numbers of their selected candidates, even though another candidate was polling higher than some of the ones they listed.

I'm not sure I've ever seen one of these in a movie or DVD. I sure as hell saw the "kill SOPA" stuff Wikipedia, Google, etc, put up while I was trying to user their service for something else.

Maybe you're using an unlicensed DVD player (like most computer savvy users) that skips the previews and warnings and jumps straight to the movie. They're practically ubiquitous in the forced-viewing sections of DVDs and Blu-rays.
