‘V’ Sci-Fi Star Compares Journalist-Mouthpiece for Evil Aliens to Anderson Cooper

Scott Wolf, the star of a new show about evil aliens who use superficial journalists to take over the planet, appeared on Monday’s Good Morning America and compared his "morally compromised" character to real-life CNN anchor Anderson Cooper. The ‘V’ star asserted his character doesn’t have much "gravitas" and added, "He's more of Anderson Cooper-y."

In the program, which premiered November 3 on ABC, Wolf’s fictional reporter scores an exclusive interview with the lead alien, who is secretly plotting to take over the planet. She instructs him, "Just be sure not to ask anything that would paint us in a negative light." After he explains journalists must ask tough questions, "Anna" delivers this punch line: "That was not my understanding."

Under the threat of losing such a high-profile interview, "Chad Decker" backpedals and promises to be "fair." The scene, which some conservatives might think reflects coverage the Obama administration received, continued. The alien leader lectured, "You'll need to be more than fair if you want to proceed...We can't be seen in a negative light."

...Welcome to ABC's "V," the most fascinating and bound to be the most controversial new show of the fall television season. Nominally a rousing sci-fi space opera about alien invaders bent on the conquest (and digestion) of all humanity, it's also a barbed commentary on Obamamania that will infuriate the president's supporters and delight his detractors.

I can't figure out why anyone would watch crap like "V" in the first place.  It sucked the first time when it was about Reagan and his policies.

Actually it was inspired by a 1935 novel and ended up as a Nazi allegory. :p

It reflected the Nazi persecution of the Jews, the Swastika, the "friends of the Visitors" were the "Hitler Youth", Visitor broadcasts mimiced Nazi propoganda...etc.
