HBO's "The Newsroom" is absolutely brilliant...

I wish there were a real mainstream network news program that could equal what they do.

I get my news from Democracy Now, Thom Hartmann, Sam Seder, Young Turks, Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O'Donnell, Raw Story, Huffington Post, Chris Hayes, The Nation, Democratic Underground, Mike Malloy....to name a few.

I love The "Newsroom" . Yesterday HBO had all 7 episodes back to back...AWESOME!!! I never get tired of watching them and laugh in the same places. Even my conservative boyfriend likes it. He is slowly seeing my side of the view. He actually likes Rachel.

I stumbled on a RW site today looking up more on "The Newsroom" and found this site. Unbelievable.

Not much in the higher intelligence there. They love Rush. and Hate "The Newsroom".

Gotta love the right wing for being so touchy.
And Jon Stewart doesn't have the integrity of a real newsman either!

Not surprised the level of intellect was questionable. They have the lowest common denominator to play to over there.
