Far-Left Murphy Brown Perfectly Captures Fake News
By Christian Toto | December 1, 2018 1:30 PM EST
The creative force behind Murphy Brown 2.0 made it clear why the sitcom rose from its sitcom grave.
Donald Trump. President Donald Trump, to be precise.
The head of Warner Bros. asked for the reboot, thinking the show could be relevant again in the Age of Trump. Murphy Brown creator Diane English worried a reboot might tarnish the show’s Emmy-winning legacy – at first. She quickly came around, realizing she could weaponize the show against the current Commander in Chief.
The results?
Awful reviews.
Weak ratings.
Hopes for a second season dangling like a chad. (This week, there were disputed reports that the show was cancelled.)
