Pretty sad isn't it that the "best Neil moment ever" and also the "only Neil moment ever" was just a pretty ordinary reaction anyone would have to the typical inane rambling of a Sorkin strawman character? The girl just spouted a random Yahoo comments section type statement about Ron Paul and saying "What the fuck…

Sorkin's problem with telling vs showing doesn't seem to register with him either. Its like he's just too obtuse to notice incompetence when he sees it. When the issue has been brought up in interviews he thinks the moronic behavior just refers to their slapstick nonsense. But the moronic behavior is also in their…

I agree his excuse is complete bullshit. Clearly something he just made up after the fact. If its not bullshit then it is just sad. It is a sad sign of what kind of writers Hollywood puts on a pedestal if they can't even comprehend that setting a NEWS show right after actual news has happened and then re-reporting…

Its funny that he says he's not as smart as the characters. It shows he still doesn't get it. One of his big problems is that the characters are annoying idiots but he keeps telling us in the show (through other characters and even the character themselves) that they are brilliant. He is the king of telling instead…

If you read Olivia Munn's interviews, twitter feed, etc. she likes to market herself as this nerdy ditz while at the same time posing half nude in magazines and marketing herself as a sex symbol. Sorkin loves those kinds of people - i.e. fake smart and fake hot. Munn is neither a nerd nor a sex symbol. She is…

The depiction of New York and New Yorkers on this show is laughable. Yeah its midtown manhattan (right were I work btw) and there are no bars open at 9am except for a karaoke place with $3 drinks! Yeah, even at the best happy hours in midtown you don't get $3 drinks, and not only are bars open then but that is early…

Wrong Marci, I've lived in Manhattan since college in 1998. First of all the city wasn't locked down when the planes hit or even right after. I had classmates who commuted into the city and still came in well after the towers were hit. Things probably didn't get locked down until a good couple of hours after the…

She's just ugly as hell.

One of the problems all of these things stem from is that Sorkin likes to write young characters but he's in his 50s and just can't write young people with any semblance of reality. His characters are all idiots who for some reason or other in his little universe are considered geniuses, and of course, he makes sure…

I agree. Its such a weak argument. Its like saying hey this guy might be a crack dealer but at least he's not a murderer. Its the typical C student type self-assurance that hey at least I didn't get an F.

I work in investment banking and the idea that Sloan would have been offered a job with a VC firm for "4 million per year" is just retarded. Sorkin clearly has no idea how Wall Street works. Sure Sloan may be offered jobs by research firms and research desks at investment banks, maybe even as an analyst at a global…

So true. Sure she's eye-candy and a bit of a side character so her acting is not front and center as much as some other characters, but her lines come out so unnaturally. She's just a bad actress on this show.

So true. Sorkin's entire premise of this show is that cable news doesn't practice journalism. Yet News Night doesn't either, in fact its way worse about not practicing journalism than other cable news. The whole thing just sounds like a couple of wannabes reading off the most highly viewed postings from a typical…
