I haven’t subscribed to H-BLOWS for years.
The "aren't we clever" and pervasive smugness theme that runs through the show is obnoxious to watch.
We hold these truths to be self-evident....
Seems very truthful. We all know the media doesn’t play fair and likes to pit well prepared experts against unprepared random people to make their favorite side sound better. By showing exactly how this works the show is much more of a hit on the media than on the conservatives it shows being ambushed.
The approach of this fictional TV show reminds me of some segments of O’Reilly. Several times I’ve seen segments where O’Reilly wants to pontificate on something; so he brings on a throw-down guest who knows little about the subject as his “opponent” to make himself look good.
I don’t mind too much. The Wire ripped Democrats and liberalism to shreds.
Just renewed for Season Two. I have not watched it but thought maybe I would. It seems kinda boring to me.
In spite of that, more Americans identify themselves as conservative.
If leftists didn't get so much free publicity - there'd be so few of them that we'd be able to smell the stench of liberal elite without it being part of the air...
Isn’t Sorkin the same guy who wrote “West Wing”? Why would anyone expect anything different from him? Instead of getting mad, and giving the show FREE press, why don’t we just ignore his show?
Par for the course for Sorkin. And HBO.
The dialog is insanely hilarious! Every single segment, no matter how small, has humans speaking in ways that humans would be speaking if humans spoke everything perfectly. No "ahhs" or "you knows" or any verbal miscues. This only applies to the liberals though. The conservatives or more accurately "targets" in the show are absolute idiots who obviously can't think. Sorkin writes such that his characters sound like geniuses speaking with retards. With a cadence that reminds me of an old bit Johnny Carson did years ago with Jack Webb.
The funniest thing is the seriousness of everything. Everything is such a big deal. It is one very long OMG! Which is amusing because they do their "news show" then all go home. Which is kind of silly considering the "gravity" of everything they do. They are saving the entire planet but just not all the time. LOL!
The bottom line is that "The News Room" is nothing more than a liberal circle jerk that is very transparent unless you are a moron.....
I’d sooner expect the gophers in my lawn to leave gold nuggets in the holes they dig than an Aaron Sordid production to be fair to conservatives.
Everyone knows that Christians are non-scientific, ignorant and ill-educated; that they have faith in nothingness, love weapons of destruction, believe that women should not have the right to choose and can’t think their way out of a paper bag.
They’re morons, idiots, knuckle-draggers, jerks, hicks, dolts, classless tobacco-chewing crackers and all-around reactionary dopes who are way below the level of advancement of brilliant, intellectual, really-really bright, Progressive, intellectual geniuses. Ya know?
(Just ask any Progressive.)
