You can watch episode 1 of The Newsroom online

Since this episode has been widely discussed here, and since most folks do not have HBO, I figured it would be appropriate to post that you can watch it for free (legally, no less) on YouTube.

Unfortunately, however, there is bad language in the show so you have to sign in to watch it. (And embedding is disabled.) It's always something...

My take on the show here:

It was a hilarious sendup of contemporary schlock media that passed for news.

As pertinent as it was then, it seems far more relevant now that ALL real news has gone the way of the dinosaur

And I particularly don't like that the main guy doesn't really seem convicted, he just wants to be on air, from what I gathered.
