The reason this viewpoint bugs me so much is it's emblematic of the liberal mindset that having good taste or opinions means you are correct in all things and not susceptible to reactionary thinking. It absolves a lack of self criticism and approves any misconduct as unavoidable.

i've now watched 2 seasons of mad men, am on a 3rd and...the tension in the show, metatextually, between the showrunners wanting to indulge in a kind of glamor, and yet being unsure of when and how to critique the era, is persistent and unresolved in exactly the way I suspected at the time of air.
