Still gives me chills!

I began by saying that our history will be what we make it. If we go on as we are, then history will take its revenge and retribution will not limp in catching up with us. Just once in awhile, let us exalt the importance of ideas and information. Let us dream to the extent of saying that on a given Sunday night, a time normally occupied by Ed Sullivan, is given over to a clinical survey on the state of American education. And a week or two later, a time normally used by Steve Allen, is devoted to a thorough-going study of American policy in the Middle East. Would the corporate image of their respective sponsors be damaged? Would the shareholders rise up in their wrath and complain? Would anything happen, other than a few million people would have received a little illumination on subjects that may well determine the future of this country - and therefore the future of the corporations? To those who say people wouldn't look, they wouldn't be interested, they're too complacent, indifferent and insulated, I can only reply -- there is, in one reporter's opinion, considerable evidence against that contention. But even if they are right, what have they got to lose? Because if they are right, and this instrument is good for nothing but to entertain, amuse and insulate, then the tube is flickering now and we will soon see that the whole struggle is lost. This instrument can teach, it can illuminate - and yes, it can even inspire. But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it towards those ends. Otherwise, it is merely wires and lights in a box. Edward R. Murrow

Miss this show just like Jed and his crew.

Dear Aaron, this is what I was raised to believe America was all about, and sadly has rarely been since my childhood. I so wish it could cease to be TV and become real life.

@@arthureaks3591 then you were told lies. boomers have got to stop always talking about "i was told this as a child". you were a child and they were lying to you. because you were a child. grow up

My heart melts. I think she’s the only one who does call him “Billy”

Invisible ninjas cutting onions? Yeah we had that problem here, goes away as long as you DONT watch something of this quality....

If you make your people feel safe and free, and give them a general direction to work towards, you’ll get progress every time. At least that has been my experience.

Sampat wasn't in jail, their stringer in Egypt was

@@videogamerulr There's an episode where Will gets sampat released from jail when he was recording footage from occupy Wall Street.

I absolutely love that line.

Same here. Just this very moment

Same

PerthTowne Yes. What a great line. Sorkin is so good at mining these nuggets from our collective experience.

PerthTown............wonderful observation. I completely missed this. Where there are excellent movie clips, there are intelligent viewers and excellent observations. Thank you!

So THAT'S what that is.... cheers 😅

Welp, as a non-American, I don't even know what this scene was referencing to... Still loves Newsroom tho.

@@lolipedofin Google the 1993 American biographical sports film "Rudy", directed by David Anspaugh. Regarding Will's "fife and drum" comment, one of America’s most iconic paintings, "The Spirit of ’76" (originally titled "Yankee Doodle"), was painted by Archibald M. Willard and shows three Revolutionary War era fife and drum musicians. The painting can be viewed at upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3a/The_Spirit-of-1776_Abbot_Hall.jpg

Same. It'S so real to him that I feel like im in the room.

It’s just like watching Rudy… I cry every single time 😂😢

Bruh how do you not cry during the Jersey scene

@@jacobfredericks1302 Because Rudy sucks.

Cries like an onion!!!

almost my favorite emotional moment on newsroom, mine is "fix you" > " jersey scene > Don reporting the news on flight

Fix you is mine too along the the United Airlines flight scene and then the closing scene "That's How I Got to Memphis" really miss this show it was fantastic

I agree she absolutely is. She makes the show moreso than Daniel's but they play off each other so well. You knew she was going to be dynamite the second she changed the show title to Vertigo Medicine in episode 1.

Oscar Luna She's crafty.

Really? If that’s your take... I think she gave her ALL.

I so wish this world had an ACN to show how bad CNN, MSNBC, AND FoxNews actually is!!!

Aleksandar Jelic Wrong movie, but I appreciate the thematic similarity.

Still does the trick in 2023.

it was supposed to, sorkin wanted it to end when it caught up with modern day news...

it was cancelled for being to informative and too truthful. #Republican1%RuinsEverything

+Benji VanDuesen lol wtf are you talking about?

West Wing is a gem, and so is The Newsroom. But both are because the creators knew when to stop. Nothing is worse than when the audience watches you while you run out of ideas (X Files, Big Bang Theory etc.). This way, WW and TBBT will be remembered in a positive way, as it should be.

Sorkin has explained that writing serial television is too exhausting for him these days. Keeping a series going is hard. The cast gets other projects going, shooting schedules get condensed and expensive and yet the writing has to stay at a high level. It’s a lot.

Pros? Literally everyone in this office was fucking each other or trying to fuck each other. Then their leader went on television high as a kite. Not exactly what one would call professional behavior

Good thing Venmo wasn’t around. This was still the blackberry age

who is "Rudy" ?
