After reading the description I thought, great cast but "here's another liberal themed news drama". It turns out that HBO did a fairly good job of balancing the political points of view and presenting very compelling plot lines. I've watched & enjoyed the first two sessions and I'm looking forward to season 3.

As a journalism minor and English major, I absolutely love this show. As an American, I think it resonates with anyone who wishes the news was reported in whole, without excessive commentary or lack of direct questioning and investigation. Sadly, though, it does portray some shady reporting technique, such as the inclusion of "facts" that are unverified - regardless of their possibility of being false. It is entertaining, engaging, but ultimately misleading.

Aaron Sorkin is always able to present the possibility of hopeful idealism amongst even the most bleak of conditions. His show is nuanced and gives credence to the idea that one can go against the grain and make a positive impact. The West Wing did this in the White House, while this show tackles the media industry and presents a possible ideal model for modern news media outlets to follow.
