re: Has their ever been a more self-important TV show than "The Newsroom"?

I'm obviously in the minority bc I actually like the show. It does take itself to seriously at times, but it has givin me a whole new understanding of how to view sensationalistic media. Pluss I like Allison Pill, Jeff Daniels, Sam Waterson, and I love Olivia Munn.

I'm pretty liberal so the slant doesn't bother me to much. I did laugh when Saigon Jane stepped on screen bc at that point Sorkin was straight up saying f u to any conservative still watching the show.
