‘Murphy Brown’ Creator Diane English Says She May Need Protection As Series Returns To CBS
Deadline ^ | August 5, 2018 | Lisa de Moraes

Murphy Brown creator Diane English says she may need to get security protection as she works on the return to CBS of the biting political comedy series.

“I might have to have some protection,” English told reporters in a scrum after her show’s Q&A panel at TCA. “I’m not kidding.” English referenced the “scary times” in which the show is coming back with original episodes after two decades.

The very first episode, which takes place on November 8, 2016, “really sticks our head into the lion’s mouth,” said star Candice Bergen, boasting, “This show has no fear of anyone.”

These “scary times” includes a death threat to CNN on-air talent phoned in to C-span by a Trump supporter that Brian Stelter played on his CNN program. New York Times columnist Bret Stephens similarly revealed a threat from someone warning, “I don’t carry an AR but once we start shooting you f*ckers you aren’t going to pop off like you do now” Stephens warned President Donald Trump will have blood on his hands if his enemy-of-the-people attacks on journalists pushes a supporter to such extreme violence.

English will only need protection if she cuts in front of Candice Bergen on the commissary lunch-line.

Try some Xanax, Diane. If that doesn’t help maybe some lithium.

This is nothing more than a publicity stunt press release to draw attention. Don’t take the bait.

Why? A bunch of old bags thinking they’re still important? They’ve encouraged the killing of enough kids (pro-abortion was the big theme) that they should be able to sleep at night before they go to Hell.

Protection?

If they are worried, make the crew provide their own condoms.

What might she have to say about the people that can’t afford bodyguards and might want to buy a gun.

Some anonymous goober allegedly sent a death threat to a CNN anchor and we're supposed to be more worried about that the Republican politicians being shot or beaten on their front lawn.

Get your own leftist fascist bomb throwing hissy fitters in check, because if you don't soon, you will have to worry about violence from the right.

We need a “Murphy Brown” robot like we need a “My Mother the Car” reboot.
