It's strange for the New Republic Staff to be aware of liberal bias in (even movie) media. They are not usually so self-aware. Are the editors becoming aware of how today's liberals are anything but leftists? Probably not. They're actually talking about director Robert Altman's and writer Garry Trudeau's characters as played decades ago. Because that's what both of them wanted then. And it's safe. And not because that's a useful analogy, but because it's news filler. Aside: I really do miss Bob Dole, mentioned in the article. And I wasn't generally a Dole supporter. He was sarcastic as all heck - very funny. Only outdone more recently by Al Franken.
