[See NewsBusters for more.] The networks love the far-left apocalyptic series The Handmaid's Tale because they think it reveals the world conservatives will soon create: A right wing, theocratic nightmare. ABC’s Nightline on Tuesday was just the latest program to fawn over the show as some sort of deep expose on our current times. Reporter Maggie Rulli cheered that pro-abortion, anti-Donald Trump activists dress up on the show’s red capes: “They’ve become a symbol of protest for global women's rights, from reproductive rights in Alabama and Georgia to equal pay and treatment in Hollywood, even protesting in London just two weeks ago during president Trump's state visit.”
