Why do they need viewers? Stinking idiots just pay every month for this HBO pay channel garbage, over and over and over again.
I just watched Gettysberg again yesterday. Jeff Daniels is excellent in it, but he really sucks in Newsroom. Of course Newsroom sucks all by itself.
Liberal bias aside, i enjoyed it. Like a good science fiction story you have to suspend disbelief to really enjoy it. so i just ignore the liberal bias and enjoy the rest of the story. i enjoy the writing style if not all of the content.
Over a decade ago I called such obtuse and recalcitrant broadcast organs media martyrs—in that they are more willing, not unlike Jihadists, to perish for a lie than to admit that they are liars.
I mean, having an ignorant God-hating mean-spirited racist sexist smegma stain like Bill Maher as your top celebrity... ...well it's only a matter of time.
I predict that it will run through early November and then be quietly cancelled.
“‘Newsroom’ Renewed by HBO Despite Few Viewers, Many Critics”

Someone will have to explain to me the economic metrics of this decision.
To me it says there are far too few “entertainment” programs to sop up the available advertising dollars.
Maybe Sorkin should try to boost ratings by adding a vampire to the cast. He'd probably be the most realistic character in the show.Meh.
The modern blood-sucking media make vampires look like pikers.
2.14 million isn’t bad for subscription cable. Sopranos first season only averaged 3.4. For a show with a small cast and no special effects the bar is lower.
How dumb do they think people are that they hope to pass of anti-American as “patriotic”?
When you get right down to it, there really isn’t that much worth watching these days, if you have half a clue.
You have to suspend your critical thinking on just about any movie/television program.
I don’t watch the HBO created media. Either they have the worst promoters in history, or these shows are disgusting to the max.
The whole idea of watching a crime family’s inner workings, repulses me. And most of the shows look even worse than that in their publicity blurbs. Ah..., no thanks.
We have about 310 million U. S. Citizens these days, and HBO gets award after award for programs that draw from 1 to 2% of that. Anotherwords, if you go out in your community today and run into 100 people, one of them may be watching this trash.
These awards amount to one Lefty kissing another Lefty’s posterior, so they’ll kiss their’s in return later on.
Mob Family
Serial Killer
Anti-American diatribe filled newsroom
Gladatorial content filled Roman legion type stuff week after week
Homosexual focused wonderlands of sorts
I mean seriously, HBO hasn’t got the slightest clue what I might enjoy watching, and I don’t think it could develop more offensive content if they tried. Well, I may have to take that back, because they certainly are trying.
So in other words he's based on Boehner, McConnell and Romney.
The biggest problem concerning network news is not the news they deliver but the news they don’t deliver. Because they’re mostly libs, they’re super p.c. No news that deviates from or contradicts the tenets of liberalism is broadcast. They’re not broadcasters, they’re fraudcasters.
If that's supposed to be a compliment to the viewers of FNC, I'd hate to see what a criticism of them would look like.
A cliche that happens to be true!
