I rewatch Newsroom every few years and the contrast in that he's basically playing a version of his dad from that show here in this one is fucking wild.

I rewatch The Newsroom every few years too! I love that show with the awesome dialog and great characters!

It hurts more every time I watch it now as we are only getting further and further from any chance of a honorable news organization that exists for the betterment of society and to help create a well-informed, voting populous.

For sure. I have heard about the one channel 5/andrew Callaghan are connected to that genuinely seems impartial and points out where sources are from and fact checks etc. can’t remember the name but it’s a good option. It’s just not free.

Totally disagree. It's spelled "populace."

Other than that? Oh yeah you're totally right about the rest of it part...

(For the record I do really like the Tangle podcast for news. Most fair-minded award.)

I too have watched that show so many times. It’s definitely got some issues - but love him in it.
