I predict that someone relatively respectable (not Bill Maher or one of the MSNBC buffoons) will sometime between now and Obama's defeat, blow a gasket and have an on air meltdown not too dissimilar from the latest bit of HBO liberal propaganda, the Newsroom.
I know a few journalists. Not guys like the Derb (for whom I have nothing but respect), but the kind of people who write "hard news". They all think they are smarter and more integral to our social processes than anyone else does. They are, as a rule, of unremarkable intelligence; but don't try telling them that. And I really think one of their higher profile brethren is going to copy that new HBO show because it's such an appealing delusion for them.
I think this is a particularly good piece on how the kind of delusion that show represents will actually end up hurting the very people who are trying to use it as a salve to mediate the pain of losing to the Tea Party. I highly recommend reading it, so you don't have to watch the actual show either. I had the chance last night but couldn't bring myself to do it.

Sultan Knish - great read! Spot on.
The sir-name "Sorkin" almost sounds like a derrogetory or vulgar description of masturbatory impulse or putrid deviant sexual act.
In a sentence, you get the context:
"Have you been sorkin? YOu should have yourself checked out."
"It was decided that the anchor should take a leave of absence after he sorkined himself in public."
"We caught the seiu union crew in a group sorkin with a dead polecat."
"The media would have been able to report the facts had it not been for aggregious sorkin during the investigation."
Monica's dress was the result of a presidential sorkin...
also - go on youtube and look back upon Sam Donaldson and the old hag when they would attend Reagan pressers.
The best moment of news clarity was David Brinkley lamenting clinton as a bore
Who really watches the network news now? I have a house guest who still watches the MSM on occasion. All the ads seem to be geared to those in their 'golden years' (and the health problems they suffer from.
I think the MSM's audience is dying out. The new lefties get their news from sources like the Daily Kos.
I watched 6 minutes of it.. Itl be cancelled after ?6 episodes.. Even the libtards wont pay for HBO to see it.
Aaron Sorkin ...still in search of Camelot....aint happening
