It took us three episodes to get there, but “The Newsroom” finally gave us an answer Sunday night to something that has long been in great demand: What in the world was on that voice message that was left for Mackenzie by Will last season? The answer turns out to be just as juicy as […]
Who knew going into the first season of “The Newsroom” that Sloan and Don would emerge as our favorite prospective couple? Jim and Maggie are heavily-hyped, but the show tends to force them down our throats a la a breaking story that the press cannot seem to get enough of for whatever reason. Meanwhile, Will […]
We have seen Will McAvoy do some pretty surprising things on “The Newsroom” over the years, but personally leaking a story to the press? This is something new, especially when you are looking at the specific woman that he is doing said leaking to: Nina Howard. Remember her? You should, given that she is the […]
Over the past several weeks on “The Newsroom,” we’ve had a chance to learn quite a few things about a certain Jerry Dantana. He’s a guy obsessed with the Genoa story, and doing everything he can to get the folks surrounding him in the ACN world to believe him. Basically, he’s got a chip on […]
For those of you who find “The Newsroom” to be some sort of evil liberal drivel, you are probably going to double-facepalm over the thought of seeing Jim try to stage some sort of grade-A revolt against Mitt Romney’s campaign for not getting any time with the candidate.

If so, you will be fairly interested in seeing how this is one of the stories handled on the new edition of “The Newsroom” airing on HBO Sunday night. When it comes to showcasing subjects that are particularly well-known to all viewers, this tale of […]
On last week’s season premiere of “The Newsroom,” we saw what was basically the beginning of Maggie’s life completely and totally falling apart. Thanks to a “crazy New Yorker” video that was posted on YouTube, her relationship with Don is now completely over, and she is back to rooming with her old pal and Jim’s […]
After looking at the reviews for Sunday night’s “The Newsroom,” outside of our own mostly-positive take on it, we once again find a large group of television reporters out there have found plenty of complain about. We don’t know if this has been said enough, so it is certainly worth saying again: The show has […]
The first thing that we will say here about “The Newsroom” is that we actually much preferred the original theme to the new one.
