I dismissed it as an overt justification behind every mistake ever made by Hillary Clinton and never watched it.
The difference being, of course, I would hit Tea Leoni, but would only hit Hillary with a hammer.
It honestly made me think of HBO's Newsroom where they took the actual edited 911 call from George Zimmerman and tried to justify MSNBC's actions through fiction.
The West Wing taught me to be very wary of such shows, and maybe I didn't give it a chance. But I only have so much time for TV, anyway, I might as well be selective.

I'm sure it is, but are the writers aware of this?
Seriously - I admit to judging it without having seen it, but if you don't believe that TV writers will rip the headlines into their plots and inject their own apologist agenda, you're naive.
If I misjudged it, so be it. But if it really is trying to gloss over Clinton's tenure at State, I would rather watch something more realistic, such as Gotham.

Now I *know* you are naive 
Steve, Aaron Sorkin has said as much as he's using it as an agenda to defend the media against bias accusations. He's a known hard-leftist Hollywood turd looking for more suckers.
The Newsroom is totally to the left, but it was a good show anyway.
Apparently this Sunday (May 1st) some footage that was shot at the Yacht Club I grew up at in Brooklyn will be on the show. My dad was Commodore for a couple years and spent virtually all his free time here until he got too sick to drive in. I'm still technically a member.
The place got wiped out during Sandy, almost everything has been redone. I was watching the security cameras until the power went out, water had already come into the building.
