FrontPage magazine online has an excellent review of one of the ABC network’s new hideously anti-conservative, and hideously pro-liberal “dramas” to add to their stable.
My wife and I actually started watching this—knowingly—and our suspicions proved correct. We laughed out loud, quite literally. Then we switched to Fox News channel, which was very informative, and entertaining too.
