The News Room Review

                     This show was very disappointing because I thought it would be much better. The Show "The News Room" was going to be a show about a news anchor who is tired of the way media reports stories and events. HBO did well hiring an all star cast to propel the show to great heights.

                    However, this show simply does not work for the American public. They are doing a show about what everyone knows already, and just does not want to do anything about it. Everyone knows the American media is corrupt, and in the pockets of various corporations. The media is at the will of big business, capital hill, and its readers.

                 To be honest no media is completely free of influence whether it be politically or economically. The public knows this and they do something about it. They simply turn the Channel from One of the major news networks (CNN, MSNBC, NBC, & FOX) to reruns of American Dad or The Office.

                The protagonist played by Jeff Daniels wants to change the way people see the American media. He wants to be the next great news reporter who changed America for the better informing the public. Yet with all of the information from the internet people can investigate things for themselves.

              People are not reliant on the Media for everything any more. They are individuals who are able to make decisions for themselves, and look up the information. The news is always biased so why should one man be the savior of it.The show is not horrible and should get another season. However, for the long term it just does not make since for persons to relate to it.
