The West Wing, Biased? Naw!!!!!

From Donarthur blogspot:




The folks over at the conservative Media Research Center seem to spend a lot of time watching the West Wing and issuing urgent notices when they detect evidence of liberal bias. According to their web site “CyberAlert has documented the many liberal themes and anti-conservative plot lines showcased on the NBC program.” Apparently Aaron Sorkin, the show’s creator and producer, is a left liberal and the show reflects his views.


The way they go on you’d think that they’d discovered department store Santas molesting children. It’s a TV show guys. NBC run it because it attracts viewers and sells advertising. You don’t have to watch it.


True Don,  and I’d add something further.  The show is about a Democratic Whitehouse.  I find it extremely funny,  and also not near as terribly slanted as these guys obviously do.  They apparently don’t pay much attention to the postive light in which Ainsley Hayes is portrayed on the show (the staff “conservative Republican”— I suppose she’s just seen as a token collaborator by the show’s detractors). I often describe it to people I know that haven’t seen it (or seen much) as a White House meets ER,  because of the rapid flow in and out of a constant barrage of issues and responses and Press Conference slants,  political maneuverings,  etc.   I find it fascinating.  And oh yeah,  I’m not Republican.  Don’t know I’d call myself a Democrat either, although I usually end up voting that way out of fear of the alternative.
