I'm American and get all my news from "The Guardian" and "Reuters", both UK media. One gets its funding through donations because it knows news can't possibly be trusted if its owned by a corporation. Point is, I no longer trust Americans to report the facts on America. This country isn't a democratic republic; it's a civil oligarchy. And who owns Fox News? Who owns CNN? The overwhelming majority of Americans really are stupid. I'm a C- student at best. I shouldn't be one of the few people who knows the truth. If the country can't keep up with ME, then oh man, there really isn't much hope.

This show does land sobering reality checks when addressing "big issue" topics like this.

Spoiler alert: It's every man for himself.

Lol this hasn't aged well in 2024

sadly he was right, just it is way worse than even he thought it was

So sorry for Aaron Sorking, the future is much worse than what he predicted

America doesn't say it can do better. It says it can make more money, and as time has gone on, it has pushed for ever more money being made by an ever smaller fraction of society. If the US had really been trying to do better, it would have been leading Europe in things like availability of healthcare, government services and programs to help it's citizens and laws protecting people from brutal exploitation by rich and powerful corporations. Not lagging behind with a huge and ever increasing homeless and prison population.

“We can do better! It’s in our DNA”

It’s absolutely amazing how prescient this is. There is genuine prediction, maybe it was obvious at the time to those more informed than me. I was locked in doing the day job in North East England.

Newsroom is kind of sad to look at now. Cause things got way worse

Great show. This clip is more true in 2024 than in 2013.

I like that Sloan did not apologize for her "reality tv" comment. She just moved on

Its all lies. It was always lies...

It’s pronounced Don Kishotey!! Learn your pronunciations first, America!!

Sorkin is a genius.

Sancho Panza rode a mule. Don Quixote rode a horse: Rocinante

Mac was wrong - America isn't the country that always says "we can do better", it's the country that has always said "we are the best" and they swear by it: "One nation under God", completely ignoring the rest of the world fgs 🤦‍♂ Sorry for the rant idek if it makes sense 💀

This show was so far ahead of the curve…. That or we are just getting worse at everything….

The BS of his statement is that the division is created by the "facts" people receive. People with the money and influence to push their personal agenda are creating the division because it helps them achieve their goals at the expense of the populous.

I watched as many episodes as I could when Newsroom was on HBO. The characters and the dialog seem so authentic. Even after all this time, I still get sucked back into the entire story and want more...

Her: “Only if you believe the majority of Americans are preternaturally stupid.”🥲 Will/Everyone Else: “They are!”😑

I'm surprised it jumped from Thomas Friedman to Paul Krugman instead of to Milton Friedman.

We need this conversation now more than ever.

it appears the idealist lost this battle unfortunately

Was Sorkin a time-traveler?? This could have been written a month ago and been eerily accurate.

장점. 실력. 15년. college. grad. doc. post doc. practical experience. (01:30)

장점. 윌 맥어보이. 대인배. 보살. (4:31) Extraordinary man. heart size of range rover.

말모이. (02:51) You and i have something in common.

Oh dear.. this show should come back. With Sloan as lead anchor of the newschannel

When you look up ‘the newsroom’ and ‘insufferable’ together, you get an unsurprising amount of matching reviews.

The irony of a British woman preaching the virtues of America to an American

Not caring what the CEO believes or EXPECTS their minions to report/sprout. ( Murdoch/Fox/Newscorp)

OK ... it's like this - the Liberals and the Conservatives are both full of shit. This show only attacked the things the Conservatives were full of shit about. Homosexual Marriage - they're all for it. Homosexual Service in the Military - all for it. The Whole Transgender horse shit - all for that. Woke Hollywood brain washing the public - no complaints. This show - acted like it was about truth - but it was only an advocacy platform the liberal agenda. Look at Sam Waterson praising Walter Cronkite for ending the Vietnam War. The US and South Vietnam had thoroughly defeated the Communists Tet Offensive and destroyed the Viet Cong as a force in the war. It was a stunning military victory - which Uncle Walter termed a defeat. In doing so he told the American Public that the war was unwinnable and Johnson gave up. He said "If I've lost Cronkite I've lost the American Public". Then he didn't run again when he could have - and Nixon beat Humphrey. Nixon never even tried - never. The South Vietnamese Government was corrupt - so - the Americans abandoned them - and millions of people died in Southeast Asia at the hands of Communists. Any mention of that? Or how we abandoned China to the Communists and TENS of millions died? How about Obama pulling our advisors from Iraq - the Iraqi Army we had trained and equipped abandoned it's arms and supplies to ISIS - and ISIS went from being a bunch of Terrorists to a military force that was capable of conquering the whole Country? MSNBC - is as bad as Fox - it's just liberalism. They had one of their reporters marching on a picket line - chanting with the pickets!!!!! CNN - which used to be really good - is just scrambling after all the crumbs that are left after Fox tells all the Conservatives what they want to hear and MSNBC tells all the Liberals what they want to hear. Yes - I have no doubt that the country IS more polarized than at any time since the Civil War - but this show did nothing to change that. In the end - it was just another Woke Hollywood Mouth Piece. .

"Thats why I produce the news" "We're all grateful to you" That made me laugh, such a brilliant response

That tipping point that Kenzie was talking about; it arrived on 1/20/21.

Sad that it turned out Will was right.

"Speaking truth to stupid". YIKES. This show was WAY ahead of its time.

The reason why Americans keep saying over and over and over "We can do better", is because they haven't...for nearly 250 years. They keep standing around, watching their nation devolve into a nation of the rich, by the rich, and for the rich, and do nothing about it, despite outnumbering them 97 to 3. Give us cellphones, and distract us by dividing us into groups within that 97% and tell each other "They're going to ruin America and your lives, your jobs"...make us afraid of each other. When the rich are the ones who should be afraid. But we bury our faces in our phones, while the rich find ways to get even richer at our expense. We can't do better, because we're too f*cking stupid to be that ambitious.

11 years ago, "The country is more divided than it has ever been". that statement was finally realized by the joeyB's administration.

You can just see on his face that he fell for her all over again

2:02 Is it your best, human?

Olivia Munn is hot, but i can't buy her as a news reader. She mumbles too much.

speaking truth to stupid

Stopped by this clip again. "People choose the FACTS they want now." It's only got worse since then...

I love how this show has absolutely 0 insight into the inside of modern news "People choose the facts they want" 4 sentences after declaring that the news is beholden to advertisers. The news also "chooses the facts they want" in order to survive.

3D 🤣

Loved this show!!

kinda scary how prophetic this show was
