10. That's why I enjoyed Newsroom

The top story was about Deepwater Horizon. So they asked for BP, Haliburton to come on the show. These people were never asked to come on any shows until much much later in the process.

This show really is surreal. It's almost like it should have been this way all along.

One of my favorite lines was from Sam Waterston's character. He talked about the fact that Murrow brought down McCarthy and Cronkite helped to end the Vietnam war. Those guys were real journalists. And real people who actually cared for this country at a time we really needed them. We need real journalists again today. I know there are plenty out there, but not in the Mainstream Media.
