I did a search (for what it's worth cause it doesn't work worth a crap) and didn't see this topic ever comng up.

Does anyone watch Newsroom? I am not a big political fan and have a pervertedly dim view of the media today but this show is both entertaining and thought provoking. If you haven't, you should give it a look.

He's one of the opening scenes from the initial showing. Probably the best 3 minutes on tv.

That was pretty good.

But if someone had the real life balls to profess this, I would ask a very simple follow up: Then which country IS the best?

Because, although America may be all the things that he proclaims, and we may have fallen mightily over the past few decades, so too has the rest of the world. In my very biased opinion, we still are the best in the world. Even if it is by default.

Awesome intro into this series.

If I were to watch TV, this would pique my interest.

If you only watched two episodes, you quit watching right before it turned the corner and went in another direction. Oh well, to each his/her own. I ain't sayin I buy into everything they say. After all, it's tv......it's "entertainment".

But I like this one. It's thought provoking.

My wife and I love Newsroom, It may be left leaning but it also focuses on facts so that makes sense. 😁

Facts such as referring to Michelle Bachmann as an empty "hairdo" or the KKK as a Christian terrorist organization? Those are nutty opinions IMHO, not facts.

Well, I suppose hyperbole can be interpreted as facts by extremists on both sides. Funny thing is, Jane Fonda is depicted as the boss with the (moderate) voice of reason...🙄

Thanks but I'll pass even though I've enjoyed most of Jeff Daniels' work til now.
