The Newsroom [View all]

Who watches this? I saw last season and it wasn't too bad. Over on imdb conservatives of course rip this show since its "liberal bullshit". Even though the main character Will Mcavoy (Jeff Daniels) is a republican. So far this season seems a little cheesy to me but does report the issues well. Im not sure how I feel about the fictional plot of Genoa, but we'll see how it develops. The show is on after True Blood (ridiculous show) so thats why I started watching it.

I don't like this plot... Drunken Irishman Jul 2013 #9

I certainly never meant to imply that this happened under Obama nor think Jul 2013 #11

I'm not saying you did... Drunken Irishman Jul 2013 #12

Your concern is understandable. I'm sorry I missed your point previously. think Jul 2013 #15

It's okay. I could be wrong and maybe it's meant to take place before Obama's presidency. Drunken Irishman Jul 2013 #19

I'll have to watch it again hootinholler Jul 2013 #16
