And “Command in Chief” is Relieved of Command.
From TFA:
"Political talk on TV has degenerated so much," O'Donnell, a veteran Democratic Washington insider, told the New York Times.
O’Donnell should know. He’s been a large part of that media degeneration. Weeks before the 2004 election O’Donnell was playing reporter on MSNBC’s “Scarborough Country.” In this October 22 interview with the chief spokesman for 264 Vietnam Swiftboat veterans critical of Democratic presidential candidate Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts, O’Donnell literally had a media meltdown. O’Donnell in the brief interview called this decorated military veteran a “liar” 39 times.
Far be it for us to speak ill of a leftist with an agenda. We would have preferred to see “The West Wing” continue as a satire of itself and the politics it espouses. We will just have to settle for its absence.
If you have something to add, Fire Away!
