Producer Steven Bochco (Hill Street Blues, NYPD Blue, L.A. Law) has been asked by executives of FX, the cable network owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, to develop a drama about the war in Iraq, the Wall Street Journal reported today (Tuesday). Bochco told the newspaper that he had reservations about the project since he questioned his ability to produce it "without exposing your political feelings about [the war] in one way or another." He said that he decided instead to focus on the troops and their families, something that would enable him to produce a program that was "completely apolitical." In reporting on Bochco's comments about the series, the Journal remarked that it was "unclear whether a drama from a gritty producer like Mr. Bochco can avoid politics at a time when U.S. troops still face danger and the country is divided over the war."
