Or a 5 point increase, as it would generally be reported.

Obviously poisoning Brock is bad, and a very reckless and selfish thing to do, but it is essentially an act of self-preservation against Gus. The fact that he is prepared to risk the life of an innocent child to preserve his own is certainly awful, but the motivation is much more justifiable.

As opposed to killing a kid just out of lust for vengeance, I'll say it really isn't.

I'm not sure I buy the argument that it would be so unthinkable for Jesse to assume Walt would poison Brock, simply because, well… he did think that Walt had poisoned Brock. Rembember when he came to Walt's house with the intention of killing him ? Of course, he let himself get talked out of it because of the…

That bothered me too, but I understand them not wanting to mix the fictional with the real-life elements like that. It allows them to nicely wrap up the fictional storyline in a way that makes the Newsroom world be basically the same as our world.

The central criticism is not about people disagreeing with Sorkin, it's about people agreeing with Sorkin but being ashamed at how bad he makes their shared opinions look.
