HBO's The Newsroom

"Everywhere I look people are screaming about how bad government is-"
"What's your position?"
"That they should know what they're screaming about." 


Do I throw out free advertising (like they need it) for HBO's new show, "The Newsroom?" Well, I'm going to. This looks fantastic and hilarious.

It poses a really serious and true question: How do you fix breaking news? I just happened to come across this trailer after publishing the last post, and it really flows in the same vein. I think a 24 hour news cycle (on broadcast news) can be seriously detrimental...but that will be for another time.

Should the media take the blame for widespread ignorance and misinformation in America?
