While this particular act is not, the sentiment is. Do the right thing, even if everyone else is doing something else. Even if no one notices. Even if it hurts. It's called integrity. If everyone (specifically those in positions of power) had a little more integrity we would all be better off. Integrity is the entire theme of the show. Highlighting just what power it holds, and what we are desperately missing. It's a very common theme for Sorkin. Even characters you may disagree with or are in conflict with the "hero", are not the "bad guys" if they have integrity. The bad guys in a Sorkin script are the disingenuous, the liars, the schemers, the perversely motivated, and the corrupt. Don and McAvoy disagreed a lot, but they respect each other, and earn the audience's respect because they both have integrity. The network weasel from upstairs doesn't care about truth or the responsibility of the news - just ratings and money. He's the bad guy.

[@MaraJor]

Best part of the scene for me.

[@MH3Raiser]

I remember this episode was where Don became my favourite character. I thought he was entertaining from the get go, acting as Mac's more realistic foil who has a mandate to get new viewers and doesnt have the reputation Will/Mac have in the industry to work with. But here, when he recognised that Gabby was a real person with family and friends who wanted to know if she was ok, he puts his foot down and stands for what he truly believes, what he does the job for. As he says in the previous episodes, he's, "equipped for this," but it wasn't his job, couldn't be because he'd lose it in a heartbeat. Don spends a lot of time in the show being a necessary counter to the blind idealism that Mac and Charlie sometimes show, but when push comes to shove Will said it best: He's a fucking Newsman.

[@nikitagorawara]

The first time I saw the show... I was focused on Will and Mac or Jim. But the second time I saw it... Every time Don was on screen I was watching him. I especially loved his breakdown of Nancy Grace's Casey Anthony news report and his interaction with the rape survivor in s3.

It was the show doing an episode on the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords, which was something that happened irl, and how it made most of the mainstream news sources look like clowns because they all declared her dead based on a single, unconfirmable, report and hearsay/rumours, when she was in fact alive, and a simple check would have proven them wrong. It's also a commentary on how news programmes will deliberately present salacious rumours as facts in order to gain attention, and thus, sponsors. In other words, they believed that calling her dead without checking for the truth, would have earned them a bigger payday than doing actual journalism.

[@discover854]

@@leonoson Does it have to do with the news being on for so long?

People like to focus on the compliment Will gives Don at the end of this, but hold up a second. Look at Charlie Skinner and the compliment HE pays. Right after Don says his "It's a person" line, Charlie turns and looks at Reese and Will and he exudes this air of: and that's how it is. And Sam as an actor deliberately straightens his back and leans back in defiance. By siding with Don he's both defying Reese and challenging Will. His character knew the ship they were rebuilding and he knew right then that Don's sentiment exemplified their goals and their ideals. It's so minor and such a hat tip towards both the actors and the script. And all credit to Sam Waterston, he nails his character but this episode is a damned standout.

For those confused: - The Newsroom is a TV show, the premise is that Will (Jeff Daniels) is a news anchor on a news show that cares more about ratings than the truth - Mac joins, takes over executive producer from Don, and wants to change it so they report the news. - The show had taken a ratings nosedive, as they stooped reporting on vapid trending topics and instead focused on actual news. This, coupled with Will having some controversies surrounding him, had Leona and the VP threatening Will's anchor position. - Up until the moment when the VP storms in complaining about people changing channels, Will had been digging his heels in. - Don was also pretty self absorbed up until this point, and was a minor antagonist. That he sided with Mac here "Its a person...", was the beginning of his character shift. - Likewise, Will decides in this moment to trust Mac and report correctly, not share unverified information.

And this is the problem with the media and why they are dangerous most of the time in situations like this it’s who can report the most terrifying information first

Never watched the show but I dounderstand what is going on here, even the news story..and I'm a Brit! How cool is that! Not that I'm a Brit obviously..that doesn't need to be said, the fact that this is so well done I understood the context and the moral issues.

God I love this show! This is the best tv series ever

This show is ridiculously sanctimonious.

[@bearb1asting]

Good lord. I’ve never seen a tv studio like that.

I miss this show, also I loved Don's character development.
