With regard to the literary forum as a whole, we see various authors with ideological agendas, such as Ayn Rand, and George Orwell, and others. I suppose one might include Sartre's "Nausea" in the genre of literature with an agenda. Mr. Roger's Neighborhood was a children's show with an ideological agenda.

Here is a catchy title for you: "Genres with Agendas".

Interestingly I actually briefly got to talk, well lets say be around him for some slight chat, for a few minutes at a picnic on Nantucket, oh maybe a dozen years ago. I remember most he was looking at this picture on the wall of this majestic house in S'conset of a sailboat or something. Just like in his show, he was extremely interested in the detail of the picture. I mean to me it was just another sailing picture, but Mr. R. took relish in every little detail. You have to admit he found amazement in every little thing in life.
