If Newsroom was still around now with Trump...
You could just as easily have said:
If Newsroom was still around now with Hillary...
I have not yet binged on the 3 seasons, but I'm about to. But after watching the first three (AMAZING) shows I'm seeing a bias in the writing. My question is: Does the bias hold for all three seasons or so we get to see that both conservative and liberal emperors have no clothes?
Are you still listening or did I kick off a "hey, only the evil right deserves to be inspected"? If not, here's my point.
I loved West Wing (binged on it after missing the first go-around. It was a democratic administration, and the dialog tended to be about articulating the strengths and philosophy of more liberal points of view. OK. Fine.
Now we have a show with a conservative in the lead role. Fine. Except all he's been doing so far is attacking other "conservatives". I would hope for more.
Yes, many of those he's attacking are scum sucking scumbags. But there is plenty of that type running around on both sides of the isle. So is Aaron going to get to them?
Because if not, this show is not info-tainment. It is entertainment, descending into mere oratory. Not a show seeking the truth of things. A well-written presentation doing nothing more than elucidating the author's biases.
I hope that's not true. I hope we get some big picture writing that digs down to the truth... which does not have a political persuasion, and does not polarize the viewers/citizens. Put another way, we have as much reason to be as scared of Hillary as we do Trump. Together they represent Democracy at the cross roads.
So, does Aaron do some equal opportunity truth telling here? Would love to know before going further. Thank you!
