Groups that are unfairly vilified in movies

A classic example is how in the original Ghostbusters movie, the EPA is treated like an evil incompetent organization because they try to shut down the good guys, who are in fact breaking the law by keeping extremely dangerous nuclear materials that would realistically worry far more government organizations than just the EPA. Walter Peck was an idiot for shutting down the reactor without knowing what he was doing, but it doesn't negate his valid points, or the fact that the EPA exists for a reason. It's not there to destroy business, it's there to protect people. But you're clearly expected to watch the movie and side with the charismatic entrepeneurs and think that the big bad government guy is bad, because Reagan.
