Serious question: how is it possible that CIA is presented in good light in movies? (lemmygrad.ml)

I've seen literally countless movies just this year that have CIA presented as ''good'', helping the protagonist, the protagonist or some of the main characters is''ex-CIA'' or currently employed or has some connections to it or is at least just mentioned etc, you get the point.

How is it possible that terrorist organization is constantly ''positive'' in movies and casually presented like that, that is like showing Gestapo or ISIS as ''good guys''.

And it's literally thousands of movies with essentially the same fucking plot over and over again . How does no one notice after all this time or bats an eye about terrorist organization being shown in any other way than, you know, terrorist filled with lowest and worst scums in history that should be destroyed?

I don't even know how do people not notice, complain and put a stop to it.

It's so ingrained into the American writing tropes that whenever I tried to force chatGPT to write any disruptive political story, it always ended with something like "but then, a group of plucky civilians and dedicated government agents snuffed the bad guy in his sleep, and all was well in the world".

Americans just really seem to think COINTELPRO was good, actually.
