I watch PBS regularly (I enjoy news hour and frontline a lot) and occasionally there will be a preroll commercial for BAE Systems and it feels like the kind of commercial you'd see for the malevolent megacorp in cyberpunk movies like OCP in RoboCop.

Tangentially related from my rudimentary analysis, BAE Systems comes out on top from the top line item for each county under the 1033 program, that the nytimes added to their wiki for their data dump of the foia [0]. Interesting that A British multinational defense contractor comes out on top for a US Federal Program.
