Aaron Sorkin Is Ready to Masturbate All Over Your HBO With The Newsroom
I can’t think of a more Sisyphean mission than to try and restore America’s faith in the media with a fucking TV show. Yes, reporters used to be depicted as good guys in pop culture, and that’s because pop culture back then was naive and stupid. That was before everyone realized that the media is filled with incompetent, self-admiring dipshits who choose stories essentially at random. And that was before the Internet exposed the media as being almost comically unreliable.

What a wonderful paragraph. Rest of the article is pretty amusing/dead on too…
