But then, Will is a stand-in for Sorkin who views any information conveyed electronically with a deep and abiding suspicion. So Maggie is probably jogging to the local library branch and requesting to see their Dewey card catalog for each of those 'choice' quotes.

That's the problem. Sorkin hates online everything, and he wants everyone to feel the same. His blogger trying to write a story about "trolling". Who the **** even wrote that? Awful. Sorkin gave quite a few interviews where he just came off as a pompous douchebag.
The west wing was great because it existed in a fake world and we could all get behind the characters. This show just serves to give him a platform to lecture on and on about how awful everyone not named "Aaron Sorkin" is.
That ending on the airplane a few episodes ago was as awkward as I've seen a TV show. Telling the pilot, telling the cops... It's like he still thinks he's writing for the 1950s.
