As far as the whole gawker thing, I was befuddled by the outrage at the whole paid by the click angle. The internet has been measured that way since the late 90's. This is not some sort of corrupting influence. However, Jim eviscerating his GF for her article was right on point. Sorkin at his best. The only storyline missed would have been why these idiots think it is a good idea to get interviewed by gawker after they do something dumb.


I am really interested in the main storyline this season, but the rest has been pretty meh. 2 episodes left?

Jim's point, I think, is that clickbait is about generating ad revenue, not journalism. It's all about the clicks; sensationalism at the expense of accuracy. By taking that job, she's become a prostitute.

For those who wonder why those who snark on Sorkin, snark on Sorkin. Tonight was the night.

Holy Shit! was that a great episode of The Newsroom.

And in all that ways that Sorkin can be great, and irritating, and grand.

The little things, they asides, the quips and the quirks.

A million times we've said 'we get what you're going for, but you're falling short.'

That was Kirk Gibson walk off moment, some of his best work ever.

I can't wait to see more of her. She needs to do more movies or her own TV series. I just love watching her on screen. Its not all about her being hot.:harumph:

There's a pretty feisty discussion going on over this episode. Basically, the reviewer is a new media fangurl and disses the episode for being fuddy-duddy. Commentors who might have been on her side in the past think she's overreaching.
