An ABC comedy, called “Fair and Balanced” is under development. The show will follow a reporter, who aspires to work at National Public Radio, but is employed at a “Fox News-type channel,” Deadline reported Wednesday.

Fox has previously used the slogan, “Fair and balanced” to describe its reporting.

The creators of “Harold & Kumar” — including star Kal Penn and fellow writers Hayden Schlossberg and Jon Hurwitz — are behind the new comedy project.

The single-camera comedy will draw on Penn’s previous experiences as an associate director of the White House Office of Public Engagement and as a member of President Obama’s National Arts Policy Committee, as well as a correspondent for Vice News, according to the report.
