The Newsroom

Okay, for whatever facts and data you want to know about The Newsroom, you can goggle it. 

what i'm gonna say here is in my own words,, 

This sitcom has got me rushing home to catch one episode per week (Thursday night 10pm HBO signature), plus, watching the re-runs two episodes per Sunday night. Yes, I watch three episodes per week and almost shed a tear with some of them. 

Why? you ask. 
Because this is a fictional story of how a newsroom ought to be. 
but in this economic driven world, this ideology does not exist or it is not economically viable to exist. The industry caved to favour tabloids, somebody's indecent past/present becomes juicier than his credits; political manipulation; illegal tapping on phones & messages; etc. Trolling to bully. 
 
It is so difficult to "do the right thing" and everyone deems you a fool (for doing the right thing or even trying).

I don't make a study from US politics but it sure seems we are having a similar set of problems albeit less intense. Some of their political movement drove messages like,, - If you are not successful, you are either too lazy or too dumb. 
another "classic" quote: "my grandmother taught me not to feed the strays. you know why? because they breed". (unwillingness to help the poor)  

So you get the gist of how this small team amidst their personal lives' complications, tries hard to uphold news ethics while keeping the station alive.

we all need some of these sometimes.
