I don't care what everyone says, I love both West Wing and Newsroom.
Somehow I'm not entirely surprised by this.
It's not just Newsroom. It's Studio 60, and his many other flops. It's his absolute inability to write for women. It's his overbearing sense of being right.
And I thought West Wing was better when Sorkin wasn't the lead writer.
Yes I can that, and it may make him overrated, obnoxious or irritating, but I don't see why it make him a horrible person. His personal view whether people disagree with or not, is really rather harmless, it's more or less a fluffy and harmless be nice message, not really something which should raise the blood pressure of his opponents.
I think FF and HP are merely "I like so and so" and "I don't like so and so". Sorkin isn't a horrible person, but he's bad for thoughtful entertainment.
For the first point, yes I get, I just think it's foolish rhetoric, which serve no purpose except to radicalise discussions, at least with people who's not FF or HP.
As for the second point I disagree, I didn't love the West Wing, but it was unusual intelligent for a political drama, at least we didn't have a independent female vicepresident, who became president, or a politician who ran around and murdered people personally.
