VIII. It is still so true (and even more now)

Lately, I couldn’t stop thinking about the opening scene of the first episode of the 2012 TV series The Newsroom. What the anchor Will McAvoy (Jeff Daniels) says in that scene is still so true despite the fact it was aired thirteen years ago — and I feel it is even more pertinent today.

They are not only entertaining, but it also makes you reflect on the nature of a strong democracy. Unfortunately, The West Wing is no longer available via streaming in Canada (not even on Crave), but The Newsroom is available on Crave/HBO. The famous opening scene is also available on YouTube (although in an edited version; another version is also edited.). I encourage you to have a look:
