Yes they are. Which is why that POS show on HBO, ‘Newsroom’, is such a phony piece of garbage. So let me get this straight Sorkin: You’re going to develop a TV show about a newsroom but cover actual news events that transpired approximately 9-12 months prior to the show so you can develop the “perfect” dialogue to go along with these stories to support your ideology. I guess hindsight truly is 20/20. Ridiculous.

Yes, and Jeff Daniels is supposed to be a "republican" in Newsroom.

So how come he has pages of liberal talking points memorized, so he can spew them out at a moment's notice?

I don't have HBO.

Does he EVER deliver "republican" talking points like a machine gun?

At least Alec Baldwin played a "conservative" on 30 Rock who wasn't a total doofus, and obviously hating his own character.

And in the vein of Sorkin-speak, I remember Michael Medved mocking Robert Redford's "Lions for Lambs" mercilessly.

Not just because of the subject matter, but when Redford speaks, he's just spewing nonsense.

"Now WHO talks like that in real life? Nobody. Not liberal or conservative. It's stupid, and terrible writing."

Joan Allen in The Contender has the same damn problem.

Nobody speaks off the cuff like that in a congressional hearing.
