I was hoping this would be an Animal Planet show about pets of famous politicians.  It would probably be better than what it really is.  And the Newsroom is one of the worst shows I've seen in awhile.

It really shows how low our democracy has sunk.  Not even the fiction is good anymore.

Thank you! I'm so tired of people saying how great it is. It's unbelievably corny. At least The West Wing had only a few corny moments. Newsroom is eye roll worthy more of the time.

A big problem with it Is a big problem I have with original Sorkin.  It's probably why it seems so corny. The Newsroom is the story of what it would be like if the characters of the West Wing worked in newsroom. He doesn't really care to show us anything about how a news network works.  It's just his rambling thoughts on old news spoken by actors.
