I like how they handled Santorum’s guy he fired. Although it was dramatized for television it captured the issue pretty well.
EDIT: Whoops, he was not fired. He left way before Santorum ran for president, by years. But he caught shit for hiring him in the first place.
wow this episode was brilliant, acting and jokes were some of the best I’ve seen on a TV show.
Oliva Munn was good fuck the haters :arazz:
I don’t get why they changed the name of Santorum’s former staff member. Is it not covered under fair use?
When they originally did the preview for the season in week one or two and they showed her getting yelled at I thought she was getting fired. At the time I was neutral on it, but now I’m glad she didn’t.
Also setup or not, the ring play was godlike.
There isn’t nearly enough cursing. I’ve worked in many newsrooms (print, not broadcast) and when shit hits the fan — even minor things that go wrong — profanity will follow. This most recent episode helped when Olivia Munn was chewed out.
Why would you worry about the writers? This is Sorkin’s show 100%, just like all his shows are. Staff writers on a Sorkin show are more glorified researchers than anything else. He shares 1 co-writing credit for the entire season, I think he had 3 co-writing credits for the entire run of Studio 60.
Great episode though, one of the best so far.
It’s close enough. I really don’t care to show a newsroom filled with profanity. It adds little to the show.
Watch Veep:rofl:
good episode…olivia munn looks confused even when she’s yelling…that takes skill lol.
lol someone needs to upload the scene where Skinner comes in to yell at Oliva Munn’s character and fill it with bleeps 
You obviously haven’t seen Serial Mom.
In 1994 I was too busy trying to beat the computer at SSF2 at the highest difficulty with little luck.
OMG I just left the “Is Algebra neccessary” thread and I had to come in here and rewatch that clip before my head exploded.
This country is screwed.
I thought the scene where he called everyone back in the newsroom after he didn’t reports Giffords death was pretty good on the cursing.
The preview for the last three episodes was too good.
Also Jim is an idiot.
This episode reminded me of a column I read shortly after Bin Laden’s death was reported to the world. It talked about how ghoulish it was to see people celebrating the death of a man. As if in that moment, we went back to something less human and more primal. If we are as above them as we like to believe, why celebrate the death?
Anyway, it was too cheerful for my taste. I was also kinda left in tears at the end, too. I remember that day and all it did was remind me of the shit I had to see happening a couple miles away live. You’ll always remember seeing a plane in the tower. 
Thank the fuck Christ they cut from the sequence of Will and Jim playing guitar together quickly…that was the most painful moment in the Newsroom to have to watch yet.
just finished episode 6. ooooo we, the exchange between homey and the black guy for santorum was god like. i loved the reaction he got out of him, but dude still had to HOLD DAT SHIT. gonna catch up. two more. love this show
That may have been the funniest episode of the season so far, fashion Jim, trick pants, I’m still waiting for Sloan to put Neil through a window. :lol:
This show is so left-leaning it’s becoming painful to watch. But the point where political candidates being asked Nerf soft questions stings because Sorkin is completely spot on. When they showed that CNN clip from last year’s Republican debate I had a fit of laughter. Sadly, I think our candidates will be thrown softballs this year anyway.
Tonight’s episode was great. I was hoping for a season finale it’d have another 20 minutes but whatever. That final scene with the girl from the beginning of the season was a great touch.
