After 3 seasons, Aaron Sorkin’s take on the inner workings of a cable news network called it quits last fall.  While most reviewers found issues with the show, which plumbed the recent past for storylines for the fake show within the show, I enjoyed it.

The Newroom took us inside the ACN news network as its flagship show, News Night, attempts to seriously handle hard news instead of the infotainment news that has taken over cable news.  Behind the hindsight-backed stances on the news stories of the recent past, the show certainly had a message about how what constitutes “news” has degraded over the years.
