yes, she could have had a board meeting with the staff asking for story angles to play glass-steagall

[iambic]

they could have had the English guy be confused about it

[sordid affair]

americans wouldn't be able to believe that a guy with an english accent could struggle with the nuances of glass-steagall

he sounds so proper he has to be smart, right?

[CelticFC#1]

Why the fuck are they even talking about Glass-Steagall?

As stated previously, it's best not to watch this show and just read the thread.

[orange farmer]

As silly as having Mortimer not know what Glass-Stegal was, I really like the comparison between repealing G-S and cheating on the perfect boyfriend with the ex that fucked you over.

sorkin firing all his writing staff

Most of the writers on the cable drama about a Keith Olbermann-type television news demagogue have been fired, sources with knowledge of the show told The Daily. "They're not coming back, except for Sorkin's ex-girlfriend [Corinne Kinsbury]," one source said. [Sorkin is currently dating "Sex and the City" actress Kristin Davis.]

uhhhhhhh

[Flossed Out]

this whole thing seems like its gonna implode in a few months. the characters are going to come out of the tv screen and present the news on HBO at 6:30 every night for reals.

i've been to msnbc/nbc studios in rockefeller a few times and in comparison acn must have the laxest security of any building in midtown manhattan.

"I've been to MSNBC studios and in buildings like that you cannot do what she did" omg

okay i should maybe not have used msnbc as an example?

[grayfox]

slapped my forehead with the 'rudy' moment

[Spotlight Kid]

The Rudy scene was awesome.

[Feech La Manna]

Pretty soon, they're going to have Sam Waterson walking around holding a jug with "XXX" on the side.

the Lisa scene was one of the most painful things I've ever seen

double post

[Motherwell]

Wonder if Sorkin is a fan of Glassjaw's Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Silence.

I visited my buddy at the Foxnews Newscorp building and I had to give them my license and get a visitors pass and he had to be there too, so it is a pretty valid point.

There are also a bunch of fake twitter accounts for characters on the show that are pretty hilarious.

Looking into this led me down a black hole, if only for a few minutes.

i imagine durham watching the newsroom is something similar to this

Good work someguy.

[super gas]

i almost came in my pants watching olivia munn speak japanese. forgot she grew up in tokyo. she's definitely the best thing in this yelling fest.

[The Dirty Turtle]

to me this was the first episode that showed it could, maybe, figure out how to be a good show
had some decent extension beyond liberal politics and reporting the news the right way
its not like it was great, but it was closer

[super gas]

yeah now if they only could just stop yelling at each other all the time.

[FidelityCastro]

this was definitely the best episode yet. munn v waterston was good, the conversation with the black guy was pretty brutal, and there was minimal romance shenanigans.
