Opinion: Still not ready for Murphy Brown

I get why Laura Bradley of Vanity Fair might opine that a "Murphy Brown" reboot "might actually be perfect for 2018." With broadcast news coming at us 24/7, jam-packed with political outrages, "fake news" and looming constitutional crises, a newsroom-based sitcom would never lack topical material. And then, too, there's the 2018 real-world reboot of "the year of the woman," (yes, we've had those before) which would seem to demand prominent female leads who embody the fact that "Time's Up" for bossy, ego-driven, clueless men.
