"The Newsroom" show. IMHO a pretty accurate view of how corporations control the media.

Jane Fonda played a GREAT role as CEO/owner of a company that owns the network and is giving them HELL about picking on (by name!) the Koch bros. and the Tea Party. "I have BUSINESS before that Congress."

You just know this is exactly what's played out and why the 'liberal' media puts the crap out that they do and slants what passes for 'news.'

1. Love this show.

I've liked all five of the episodes so far, great cast and writing. Definitely hooked.

2. I'm enjoying it.

There have been some sour moments, and overall I don't think it's as good as "Studio 60" was straight out of the gate. But then S60 was something special, pitch perfect from the first minute to the last. Still, I think The Newsroom is doing well. I would compare it to the early first season of The West Wing, when they were still getting their feet under them in terms of tone, characterization, and the right balance of idealism versus realism.

3. Ha! I thought I was the only one who liked Studio 60.

4. This show is brilliant! I love it so much that I cried last week during the scene with the checks.

No kidding, I actually wept.

5. Great show! Hope it makes a difference in the way...

...people see things - though I suspect those who watch already know how it works.
