re: I love "The Newsroom" but one thing I dislike (non political)

It makes sense. They are trying to portray themselves as "the authority" to get information with. Are you going to listen to a corespondent who's a bit wishy washy.

When I was in school, I met a few journalists including some war correspondents and people who covered crime and stuff. They were all types, left, right, respectful, flipant and crude to an unnerving extreme. But they did all think they were morally superior to everyone around them. The whole ethics thing and they get fierce about that. It's a lot deeper than you'd think and the good ones work very hard to stay in those lines. And then they see the bad ones cheat themselves to the front line and the good ones feel self righteous. That's kind of how I see it.
