Has the HBO series "Newsroom" been influencing the media?

[Odd Won Out]

32. Thanks so much for your thoughtful response, but

while I totally agree with your analysis of access corrupting journalism, I was just looking at some data that seem to fly contrary to that meme.

Tweety seems to be going further off-script, and I watched Nora O'Donnell actually interacting with Paul Ryan instead of just doing dictation.

It's a small data set, but it could be the start of the change that we need. Maybe the internet will influence journalism to some extent. When you don't have a product that sells, you may be desparate enough to take a chance at doing real journalism.

Sometimes corporations actually do the right thing for profit. Clear Channel is a horrible right-wing corporation, yet it airs a lot of lieberal talk radio because it is profitable.

Thanks again for your input.
