Whose watching the Newsroom? Wooooo baby....

[jillan]

Going after 9/11 reporting and news for profit in the first few minutes.

1. Fantasy. Beautiful, wonderful fantasy!

We can still hope the media will get it, right?

[jillan]

2. Yes - it is a beautiful fantasy that you just hope some corporate news company is also engaging in.

3. Now he's going after the tea party

Woohoo!!

[jillan]

5. I looooove this show.

9. +1,000 n/t

[russspeakeasy]

4. Thanks very much.

[jillan]

6. Now they are exposing the Koch Bros.... ugh - why couldn't this be reality??

[FarPoint]

7. They shame our daily media.

Oh.. I love this show! Koch Brothers. .mask was ripped off! Yes

[jillan]

8. "What are you supposed to do with a bleeding Mexican?"... Oh man... they are hitting all the points

tonite.

10. Great episode!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: "The Newsroom" should be required viewing for our pathetic tv news media. (Sorkin can quote me if he needs a blurb)

[jillan]

12. Amen to that!

[kentuck]

11. I really enjoyed that show ...

...but I bet there a few people in Congress that don't care for it too much?

[jillan]

13. And I'm betting the Koch Bros don't like it either - haha - but then again

they are busy raising mega money for RMoney tonite so they have no clue they were exposed.

14. I don't know but is anyone else seeing

a semblance of the Al Gore/Olbermann tado in this? Jane Fonda being Al Gore's part and Daniels is Olbermann.

[jillan]

15. Yes yes yes yes - thank you for saying that.

I watch this program and all I can think is - Keith, this was supposed to be you, you stupid idiot.

The whole bit in the first two programs about Will being an asshole made me think about Keith even more.

[Volaris]

17. yep, that's what I got form it, too, that Daniel's character was intended to be an

analogue for Keith. I know how you feel, but I wouldn't bet any decent sum of money that Keith is done being a media presence YET. It might take some time, but I think he knows that he is too good at what he can do at his best to call it quits completely. And if I'm wrong, his legacy will be that he gave us Rachel, and even that will have been enough, I think. =)

[Volaris]

16. That was fucking brilliant.

That clip should be e-mailed en-mass (sp?) to every "news" station in the Country.

18. I love this show and loved this episode.

I had to go and subscribe to HBO so that I could watch it (True Blood and Second Season of Game of Thrones is a bonus).

It is interesting so see how a news show is put together and I sure has heck wish that a network would have the guts to present the real news (warts and all) and call the Tea Party and Rethugs exactly what they are.
