@@bdub8522 No shit, Sherlock 🤣🤣

@@bdub8522 No, but this really did happen. Specifically to Jimmy Kimmel

@@siddmic well that’s good to hear then. Thanks.

Unfortunately, that same argument has been successfully used in court.

Shailesh Rana the argument basically boiled down to “take me seriously enough to market this, but don’t take me seriously enough that I have to take any responsibility”.its beyond childish that they expected to get away with defending their product by saying it doesn’t actually work and isn’t reviewed by staff

@@titmaus7732 Pretty late, but I wanted to provide a link for the people that come across this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aJORqcSc17i5kYk.html

@@TheController500 Thanks for the link! Awesome to see it actually happened!

Except I think Kristen Bell was used instead of Gwenth Paltrow

Some are. Not all but dig a little and spend a bit time researching and you will find them.

@Anteiluvian Atheist some are. This scene was inspirated (even word by word) by this interview: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aJORqcSc17i5kYk.html

Jimmy Dore.

Mmmm yes. Hell yes. That's a big yes. Why aren't they??

It was real, real story dramatised

I'd pay money to see that.

@@saraaddadi6944 Well I would pay, not a lot though. Maybe $10 for a seat ticket to see that happen but that's about it.

Love the subtle Psylocke reference. :)

I see what you did there.

Jimmy Kimmel did this first.

Whoa racist.

You've mistaken Sloan, for really good writing. Moving on.

@CD Smith That was a cultural reference that you either missed, or didn't get the joke.

@@josephstanski5180 That makes zero sense. Sloan is a character, the product of said good writing. So essentially you're saying "you've mistaken a written character for the writing done for that character."

@@jadefalcon001 Hello straw man, it is sad that even when you are incorrectly reframing the argument you are still wrong. I laughed when I read 'that makes zero sense' and then read your bullshit. You are accusing someone of doing something, while you are doing it in that very same breathe (making no sense). A more accurate characterization would be: you've mistaken a character for their writer. But of course this is not what you wanted to argue since it is harder and would require nuance. You are bad at this, and you should feel embarrassed

theres a reason it isn't. they can refuse to sit down for an interview or get up and leave if they want to. this is why journalists keep things soft because if they antagonize their interviewee, they could lose them in real life and not get the story they want. this isnt because they want to, far from it.

The politicians will just go to a more friendly and or partisan owned safe space news organization where they will be treated with kids gloves,

This was in real life - this interview is almost word for word from an interview Jimmy Kimmel did with the editor from Gawker about the Gawker Stalker app back in 2007

that was the reason in the show that they weren't allowed to interview one of the candidates

But all Sorkin did was copy the Jimmy Kimmel interview almost word for word.

Jimmy Kimmel's repping for Larry in that interview. Good catch.

Sorkin used some of the rep's actual responses in this scene; specifically, some of the stupider things this guy says.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aJORqcSc17i5kYk.html thank me later

Thanks for posting that link. Some people should take a look at their life.

@@Belioyt thank you (i hope it was later enough)

and its set in 2012

@@marcelo2169and still, it’s relevant

Coincidence that Sorkin created both? I think not!

@@RonnieR29 Theres "something" about his writing that makes me almost compelled to listen. The West Wing and The Newsroom are not the sort of shows I would choose to watch but I cant tear myself away from listening to it. Im pretty sure I would enjoy them in the same way if they were radio shows. I try to explain to my friends why The Newsroom is so highly rated and why they should choose to watch it but I can never quite put my finger on it. Its like trying to explain to a Pet owner why they should get a Cat. You can say the words but it never does them justice. You have to own one to understand.

Hear hear! Let's get Sorkin to do another show or let's get West Wing or Newsroom back!

Why don't you pay it and see what happens? What's that? They don't want your lunch money?

This is based on a real interview which was actually conducted by Jimmy Kimmel against the Gawker editor

You're gonna love Tucker Carlson then.

@@asparrow9876 on the receiving end, yes. The guy is an embarrasment just like every other fox news cultist.

@@asparrow9876 Tucker Carlson is even further from a journalist than this guy. Tucker Carlson purposefully spews lies to fit his agenda, at least this guy just let's other people do what they want (closer to Zuckerberg)

Reminds me of that douce bag that raised a life saving drug by thousands of percentages and then tried to defend it.

@@toddstevens13 That could be a number of companies, but I'm guessing you mean Martin Shkreli.

Don is a Fuckin newsman…if Will ever says different we punch him in the face.

@clit_niblr036 trump, and what every other political, celeb, or anyone always tells the truth and nothing but. Clinton lost, when she lost the person who didn't lose wins. How did she lose? Maybe that more vital to fix than why the other person won.

@clit_niblr036 if ur playing a game and loose but win cause ur the best dressed YOU LOST THE GAME!. Would u have also said trump won if he had popular vote but lost by the rules. How stupid do u have to be to campaign for pop vote and not elect college. Jethus I thought she was a bad candidate but not even knowing the voting system.

@clit_niblr036 are you a troll? Im guessing you think that Fox News always lies while CNN and other big media companies always tell the truth?

clit_niblr036 that’s just sore losing no? Were you complaining when Obama won? He seemed to do well enough

People will believe anything that would make them feel better about their own life. And it's much easier to destroy someone else's pedestal than to build up your own. The point is to allow yourself standing taller than the other person, no matter how you achieve that. This is why stories about the made-up misfortunes of celebrities are so addictive. They are the painkillers of the destitute.

after 3yrs --- I was so disappointed it wouldn't continue. The concept was soooo uniuqe too. We'll report the news (years after it actually happened) to show "what" it could have been.

this interviews dialog was lifted from an Interview from Jimmy Kimmel with the creater of Gawker

It happens in real life. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aJORqcSc17i5kYk.html

it's all a show to grandstand over the other guy. "You are a moron. Let me list the top 10 reasons why". Both parties do that, so there's no chance to open communication. That was quite bipartisan of me, let me end it with. GOP has been worse at this.

It used already-reported events, which made it behind the time. Sorkin laid his left-wing ideology over the production, showing women as abusive hardnuts and men as incompetent wimps. Putting in credible segments like this one here provided the base of the show, allowing "the message" to be associated with solid entertainment. The right-wing DID get it; that's the reason they attacked it.

No, both parties don't do that. Republicans engage in wild innuendo that is rarely backed up with any evidence, whether that R. is a politician like Boebert, MTG, Comer, Gaetz or any other politician, the FOX talking heads or the average Trump follower. What the Democrats do is shows like Jordan Klepper's where he allows those R. to hang themselves with their own stupid comments and ideas and Democrat politicians who take those R. to task in committees where they can 'hang' them with their own stupid talking points/accusations, etc. @@tokyworld

Yes, they are famous and there are obviously down-sides to that but they are also human, they have kids, and they have private lives. Social Media especially makes it way too easy to violate those lives and step over the line.

Sloan: "I make nerds look good."

Intimidated, not intimated.

@@marilynbeardslee2163 thank you

I mean this is basically a reimagined version of an actual takedown that Jimmy Kimmel did

They aren't as well-scripted, alas 😄

"Piles of cash" how time flies

The OP statement is a prime example of how deliberate lies by people like Trump have encouraged people to make unsupported statements like this. While no news organization is perfect, most still try to report the truth. That includes Fox News Division (but not it's commentators). Ironically, the weakening of the line between news and opinion is mostly a response to what viewers want.

This was when will was in jail i think she was filling in for will she says it at the end

Nah what it actually is is that Elliot’s show was at 10(I think?) but Washington was right before it aka right after will’s show

The news out of DC came after Will. Then Elliott.

Some of us watched both.

I know it's in the 3rd season, I'm pretty sure it's in 3/4/5. Not exact I know, but narrowing it down for ya lol
