'Laughter reaches every demographic,' says creator of new 'Murphy Brown'

“Murphy Brown,” a hit situation comedy of the late 80’s and 90’s, is back in a reboot. Original star Candice Bergen and creator, writer and producer Diane English reinvented the program to reflect today’s tumultuous media and political climate. Judy Woodruff visited its New York City set last week and found out what inspired the new show and how it will approach the hot-button issues of today.
