Are you now, or have you ever been a Republican?
"A liberal can go out and make ... 'The West Wing,' which is not even thinly disguised as a liberal view of politics, and do hours of propaganda every week, and no one questions it," claims writer and producer Lionel Chetwynd in response to beating he's received from press for "DC 9/11: Time of Crisis." The media has been critical of Chetwynd's unfashionable and overt Republican beliefs. He's right - "The West Wing" is liberal fantasy camp but what was wrong with Chetwynd's film was not its neoconservative roots, but that it just wasn't very good.
