Will McAvoy Prepares For The Presidential Debate | The Newsroom | HBO

[@Hai_Lello]

Don’t do this. Don’t post clips of this show if you’re not gonna bring it back. Now would be the perfect time to cover 2020. 😭

[@logannewman4532]

We don't need it to continue. Take the values that this three act work of art gave you and make it reality. The whole story had a beginning and middle and an end. Not enough shows have proper endings.

[@-lowe5765]

Such an underrated show

[@GeorgeGraves]

I didn't know how much I would start to care about the characters. It was awesome - I should watch it again.

[@seandon015]

Can you imagine Will Macvoy interviewing the current presidential candidates like this? What I would give…

[@nanekkii]

One of my favorite shows ever! Wish it would come back!

[@liljackypaper]

Imagine if this show was on during Trump 😮

[@itsmeprasad1987]

If only reality was like this…

[@gwynsome]

Stop getting my hopes up for a new season of this show, HBO 😭

[@jackson857]

Honestly one of the greatest shows of all time. I just wish there had been more of it.

[@EyeWatchU2B]

Dont tease me!!! I love The Newsroom!

[@YusufEbr]

Testing the waters to just mess with people.

[@kewinowitsch]

For a moment I thought this was a new season. :(

[@caseyhouser9839]

Great show

[@monxx15]

To be fair, shouldn’t a presidential candidate care more about how the lives of the normal folk have changed rather than how his or her life has? I’m sure Obama isn’t much of a victim of police brutality but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

[@kurtwaldron-e4e]

Right? I don't even remember Santorum being a particularly impressive speaker but I'm pretty sure even he could have turned that question around on the guy Sorkin was trying to right as the smartest guy in the room.

[@jmhorange]

A presidential candidate is a citizen of the US, if you say freedoms are being taken away from Americans, then you should be able to list freedoms that you as an American have lost. Obamacare is not a freedom. The Constitution says nothing about healthcare. It's fine to say you don't like Obamacare, you don't think it's a good program, you think it should be repealed, that's all fair. You are allowed to be against aspects of our society. And no one is saying you can't be a victim of healthcare under Obamacare. But we aren't talking about freedoms at this point. And that's what he was getting at. There's lots of countries that lack freedoms and presidential candidates can easily lay out freedoms they or their family and friends have all lost because they are citizens. A lot of times politicians talk about freedom and they have no idea what they are talking about, and they get a pass to spread that propaganda. What police brutality has to do with anything I do not know, the candidate stand in brought up Obamacare as a curtailing of freedom, they didn't bring up police brutality. Don't fill in the blank of what a candidate could have said, because the follow up question would obviously be different and it wouldn't be, "Tell me when you or your family experienced police brutality?" The interviewer would have come off as out of touch as we all know police brutality happens and rich and powerful people like Obama usually aren't the victims. You are just defending our corrupt political system and soft ball journalism.

[@TheUltimateTroll9]

What show

[@Eltoca21]

If only

[@briankdaniels]

We should have had Jeff Daniels moderate the presidential debate between Harris and tRump. How cool would that have been?

[@younggooni14]

Or Aaron Sorkin, the writer of this series, The West Wing, etc.

[@kespos-0]

Remember when this show healed the republic

[@derrickogole]

If HBO was a love interest, they would lead you on and bail when things get good. Stop being a tease!

[@zv3456u-]

*Jim Carrey was paid $7 M for the original Dumb and Dumber 1994, while his co-star Jeff Daniels was paid $50,000.*

[@rajifusama]

i need to watch this show to cover trump presidential era

[@davidlynch9927]

This is how a debate is done. Send this to CNN MSNBCFOX and the rest of them. This is how it’s done.

[@JudePi-jx7yo]

Well by the end of Gingrich's first term gas would have been $2.50 a gallon as it was in 2016 ish.

[@CrassusNumoniusVala]

This and the west wing are so self important, so self righteous, so smarmy, it's just sickening

[@Wongseifu548]

Explain please?

[@isaacchan1421]

Yeah it really is very snobby New England Ivy League elitist to expect these would-be presidents to tell the truth, and be held responsible for statements they made in the past. Absolutely sickening

[@golddeagle7]

The price of gas is controlled by production facilities, which are controlled by regulation. The president can reduce these regulations in relation to co2 emissions, which will be offset by nuclear power transition. We need to dismantle regulation agencies and replace them with contract bids that award companies who find ways to produce less or remove emissions from processes. This can be done with a robust expansion of the nuclear reactor capabilities we have. Currently the navy enjoys nuclear power now the nation will this alone will reduce emissions to levels no other country can compete with.

[@asianmalaysianable]

The price of gas is a function of global supply and demand which is beyond the control of any president. Reducing and dismantling regulations in any sector have historically resulted in short term gain and long term ills as shown with the repeal of Glass Steagall which was discussed in the show. Fossil fuel industry has naturally actively lobbied against any alternative power transition which they can be expected to continue.

[@golddeagle7]

@asianmalaysianable deregulation coupled with alternative action is key to my statement. Regulation stifles competition, and we know this. Energy was solved in the 60s. Nuclear power won the United States has had zero incidents with the navy.

[@asianmalaysianable]

@@golddeagle7Your statement will never be a reality because there is no impetus to alternative action in the face of deregulation. "Energy was solved in the sixties" does not jive with any need to "Drill, baby, drill". Im also willing to bet nuclear submarines and their maintenance is deeply regulated

[@golddeagle7]

@asianmalaysianable the military has a good track record. It should be considered a military task to accomplish a green America. Objectives are simple we need 100% nuclear with a grid that is sustainable. The government needs to focus on America only by being the best example of whether we will win the hearts and minds. I'm just suggesting either side needs to start taking this seriously. Instead of 300 billion overseas, we could have rebuilt America. I got principles telling me we can't afford after-school programs. The democrats were supposed to fix this. Instead, we paid for someone's war shame.

[@asianmalaysianable]

@@golddeagle7 the trillions not hundreds of billions spent overseas in the past couple of decades alone have been in service of a military complex which is invested in wars overseas. It's institutionalized so it demonstrably hasn't mattered whether democrats or republicans are in office when it comes to these foreign adventures. So the polemics comes down to domestic issues and policies. Of course Im not against the idea of a green America. I just dont see how it can be accomplished without regulation given basic human avarice.
