"The Newsroom" is gearing up for Season 2 and now, HBO has released a teaser (above). Although nothing is really revealed in 36 seconds of switch-f...
Mr. McEvoy calls himself a proud Republican, but the "base" of the Republican Party, the GOP, has become the Tea Party, and they would call Mr. McEvoy a RINO, a Republican In Name Only.
"The Newsroom" star Chris Messina can't help noting how different his character Reese is from the rest of the gang. "[Reese is] such a bastard, is...

Watching "The Newsroom" is sort of like putting on a slightly bad pair of glasses (the headaches included). Everything is off just enough that it's a ...
Though he's known recently for his portrayal of the intelligent blogger Neal Sampat on "The Newsroom," 22-year-old Dev Patel wasn't always an expert w...
God has a big part in "The Blackout: Part 1," both as savior and political cudgel. But the Devil gets a lot more screen time, especially in the monstrous form of Casey Anthony. The maybe-murderer-mom becomes the catalyst for one of the most humorless, sour hours on "The Newsroom" thus far.
For a show that's ostensibly about the news, "The Newsroom" spends a hell of a lot of time focused on other things. If there was any episode that you might expect would veer away from this pattern, it would be "5/1," which is all about the killing of Osama bin Laden. Alas, Aaron Sorkin has other ideas.
The night that HBO's drama "The Newsroom" premiered, comedian Patton Oswalt Tweeted a call to arms for would-be satirists to take aim at one of the sh...
If only I was watching the show Aaron Sorkin thinks he's making. The show that Sorkin thinks is "reaching high" and full of "idealistic" aspirations is dismissive of anyone who isn't a white heterosexual male.
The Television Critics Association (TCA) press tour has stretched on for almost two weeks now. With TV critics from all over the world cooped up in a ...
The debate is still on concerning whether or not The Newsroom is actually quality television, but the only real important thing to the big guys up at HBO is that it's being debated about.
Olivia Munn thinks "The Newsroom" (Sundays at 1- p.m. ET on HBO) deserves a break. A great deal of criticism has been thrown Aaron Sorkin's way sin...
Katy Perry may be one of the most successful female artists of all time, movie critics aren't as enamored with the "Teenage Dream" singer as music wri...
Aaron Sorkin employs some interesting techniques when it comes to having his cast learn their fast-paced lines -- just ask star of "The Newsroom" (Sun...
Sorkin paints a view of American history that goes beyond even deeply flawed: it's downright fictional.
HBO has renewed "The Newsroom" for a second season, shortly after the second episode of the debut season aired. Aaron Sorkin's return to TV has rec...
It's hard to know what's most infuriating: that MacKenzie is written as though she hasn't even heard of a war zone or that she's presented as alternately hysterical and incompetent.
Emmy and Oscar-winning writer Aaron Sorkin has announced his latest small-screen enterprise, a show titled Guy on Street Corner Yelling Things, in which a guy yells about various topics for the duration of each episode's five-hour running time.
The Newsroom is a paint-by-numbers Sorkin effort, given a frisson of media interest and buzz only because the workplace this time is the media itself. Nothing gets us going like someone we don't like preaching to us about our shortcomings.
At work in this show, I think, is the usual "save the world" syndrome that often afflicts the Hollywood elite when they seek to portray their self-righteous moral superiority.
They may be cutthroat journalists, but Will McAvoy (Jeff Daniels) and Jim Harper (John Gallagher Jr.) have another skill to exercise on "The Newsroom....
They make cruel but funny jokes about the latest dead celebrity. And they are not sentimental because they've heard and seen too much. Unlike in The Newsroom, the job they do is not accompanied by a gauzy sound track of emotional music. They want the truth.
"The Newsroom," for the most part, has been reamed by critics. So, naturally, I dug it. Don't get me wrong, there are some parts that are maddening and frustrating, for sure, but there's nothing like it on television and Sorkin's words have clearly been missed on the small screen.
