ABC's 'V' New Fall Series -- ChicagoTribune.com:
"Imagine this. At a time of political turmoil, a charismatic, telegenic new leader arrives virtually out of nowhere. He offers a message of hope and reconciliation based on compromise and promises to marshal technology for a better future that will include universal health care.
The news media swoons in admiration -- one simpering anchorman even shouts at a reporter who asks a tough question: 'Why don't you show some respect?!' The public is likewise smitten, except for a few nut cases who circulate batty rumors on the Internet about the leader's origins and intentions. The leader, undismayed, offers assurances that are soothing, if also just a tiny bit condescending: 'Embracing change is never easy.'"
I can't believe what's happening in the news lately. First the NY Times article about Voter Remorse and now this, ABC is making a Sci-Fi version of The Obama West Wing. I'm sure that it has something to do with ratings, after all they can read Fox's numbers. Or maybe it's a ploy, and when the "totalitarian space lizard" reveals itself, it will turn out to be George Bush.
