Best. Scene. Ever

Last week a show premiered on HBO called "The Newsroom." Aaron Sorkin, the same man who wrote the "West Wing," wrote this show. Being someone who graduated with a degree in journalism and someone who has always strived to seek the truth even from an early age, this show certainly hits the nail on the head. Below is the opening scene to the premiere episode and as the title of this post suggests, is one I consider to be the best scene ever written (at least the best scene ever that I can remember). If more people spoke the truth like Will McAvoy did, whether it be journalists, politicians or just everyday Americans, our country might be better off. Problems might actually get solved and we might actually once again, be the greatest country on Earth. It's not too late and I hope more and more people watch this show because it truly is fabulous.

On a side note, I also want to say that I love how the show incorporates real news events. I know there are a lot of people who don't follow the news, which I think is part of this country's problem in that the American people are an uninformed electorate not only because of the issues of the media but also because they choose to be apathetic toward practically everything except themselves and those closest to them. Still, for those people who don't follow the news but happen to watch the show, it will give them a little more perspective and education about what has been happening not only in the country but also in the world over the past couple of years. So, I encourage you to check out the clip and then watch the show! It airs at 10 p.m. on Sunday.
