Fake but accurate news is the best kind.

The Newsroom is making the MSM look like FOOLS.

When a fictional tv show does more hard hitting investigative & truthful journalism about the radical right-wing in 3 episodes than the entire MSM has done in the past decade you know the MSM has reached a new loooow.
Liberal writers putting out crap that DUmmies believe.

I'm guessing that John Stewart is off their preferred viewing list, now.

8. That is why you should find, and chiefly support,

indie journalism at this point. To think that the big boys will go against their corporate bosses is crazy.

National Reader Supporter News or truth out are your two best bets right now

If you can afford to throw a few bucks to your local (in my case it would be the East County Magazine), we'd love you too.

It is time to realize the big boys are NOT going to do that... so we need to grow an alternate, independent media.

I mean, covering things like fires runs us gas and time, and well gear.

Covering hard hitting investigative pieces takes TIME, and resources are thin at best.
 

Oh gnads, give it a rest.

9. Jane Fonda Appeared In Episode 3, As I Recall She Was Married To Ted Turner......

I think around the time he owned CNN. Fonda plays Leona Lansing the CEO of Atlantis World Media, the parent company of ACN (Atlantis Cable News).

I'm wondering if she brought any personal touches to her role in the Newsroom from actual events that happened to Turner and her during this period.

In the program she is putting pressure on the President of the News Division - Charlie Skinner- played by Sam Waterston - to have Will McAvoy the anchor played by Jeff Daniels to ease up on the political commentary and banter because it could make life uncomfortable for her in her dealings with the politicians in Congress.

Episode 3 came down real hard on the Tea Party - and rightly so. They said things that weren't said on the run-up and the outcome of the 2010 elections where the Tea Party hijacked the Repug party.

What a great show. Can't wait for the future episodes. Sorkin is a genius. Sorkin is another anti-American POS like you DUmmies.

But I would really like to get some comments from Jane Fonda on her role in this show and if she brings anything to the table because of her marriage to Ted Turner.

42. Episode 3 came down on the Koch brothers.

That's why Fonda's character wanted the anchor to "tone it down" or she would fire him.

The Tea Party was just the icing.

It is a good show. Better than I thought it would be.

Sounds like this show would not be allowed if it weren't for the Citizens United decision.

11. Just watched episode three last night

Man did they give it to the teabaggers and Koch Bros. Makes me have a smidgen of hope that there are some repugs who are sickened by what has become of their party.

Yes, we all believe that everything on TV is fact based and true.  :mental:

They've been longing for something like this since "their President" Jed Bartlett took that last AF1 ride into retirement.

The show has Hanoi Jane in it. That alone tells you that it is trash.

They do - but The Onion makes fun of their guys too. I suspect this show will be 100% DUchebag boner-riffic.

I think it was Rush that said when the other side has to invent other realities to keep in their cocoon of world view, you are winning. I always thought the same thing about the West Wing fictional president. Just more proof that leftism is a mental disease.

Yes, and the Keystone Kops made police look like fools and Gomer Pyle made the Marines look like fools and Scrubs made doctors look like fools and...

It's a T.V. show, dumbass. Its only bearing on reality is whatever the writers want it to have at any given moment. Geez, you guys will believe and worship at the altar of anything or anyone you see on a TEEVEE show or movie as long as it fits your preconceived notions. Besides, the MSM does a superb job of making themselves look like idiots without any help from anyone.

Only a DUmbass can include "fictional" and "truthful" in the same sentence about the same subject and be so sincere about it.

Indeed - all this show does is 'rewrite history' the way liberals wanted it to be in the first place. I suspect a future episode will highlight how their fictional 'Gore' wins a state after a recount is done, proving that the evil GOP and their Supreme Court lapdogs cheated

Truth Out for news? I'll be sure to check that out in 24 business hours.

Has Aaron Sorkin's The Newsroom vetted Obama?
