We knew that the son of liberal news anchor Murphy Brown on CBS’s Murphy Brown would probably not last too long in his new job with a conservative news network. He didn’t. In the episode airing December 6 titled “The Wheels On the Dog Go Round and Round,” (http://forums.previously.tv/topic/88326-s11e11-the-wheels-on-the-dog-go-round-and-round/?do=getLastComment) Avery Brown quit the show's version of Fox News in a righteous huff, railing against them "shilling for this current administration" and feeding the audience "B.S."
Avery (Jake McDorman) thought that by going to work for Wolf Network he could “change the culture” because he’s as liberal as his mother. Murphy warned him that he would be expected to just read a right-wing script but he refused to believe her.
After Avery received a prime-time slot for his show on the Wolf Network, he thought he had an agreement with management to be independent but soon found out he would be expected to read a scripted statement at the end of his show. Avery was in a classroom in Texas interviewing teachers when he was told by his producer to just read the words management wrote on the Teleprompter instead of his own for his closing and that is when he had an on-air meltdown.
