Newsroom s01e05: Will McAvoy and Nina Howard - "They're Journalists!"

[@caric8133]

This is the best scene in the whole show. Love that he stands up for his staff. A true leader

[@MightiestArm]

The very last line he says gets me everytime "you don't want to be on the wrong end of me if I ever do"

[@peteroakley191]

"Tough ass speech.......but you won't win" "Ah, doesn't matter. I'm just a middle aged guy who never lived up to his potential...........you don't want to be on the wrong end of me if I ever do" Perfectly done parting shot. 😁😎

[@R4Y2k]

When you think about the fact that this is the same guy that once made a movie called "dumb & dumber", you got a acknowledge that Jeff Daniels is one hell of an actor :D

[@rehanmemon3969]

Admittedly, this show propelled him into more serious roles. Also made him a profound name in the current movie and tv scene. Also, there's nothing wrong with dumb and dumber. :D

"Look at me...and see that I'm dead serious." "I'm just a middle-aged man that never lived up to his potential. You don't wanna be on the wrong end of me if I ever do." Boy was cold in this scene

[@lindahollingsworth2567]

Great scene! Gosh darn Skorkin can write! Jeff Daniels is amazing. Love this scene and the "I'm gonna puke" look on Nina's face when he tells her what he will do to her. Brilliant writing......... excellent acting...............can we bring Newsroom back?!

[@tomsurber2293]

Sorkin - genius that he is - wanted to move on to other projects. That's why this magnificent show ended.

[@bobbyshaddoe3004]

@@tomsurber2293 exactly, there are shows that manage to find creative longevity and there are shows that risk creative burnout after a few seasons. Sorkin did a smart thing and ended the show before it got to that point of creative burnout

[@TomboTheTornado]

“Look at me and see that I’m dead serious” best speech ever

[@misslegacyatheart]

This is my favorite takedown because it showed how much Will cared for his people. And all of the times he was yelling and screaming and carrying on, he was poised borderline, polite and downright scary all without raising his voice

[@captassassin5680]

She’s so slimy in her smugness. And you can feel Will’s subdued rage when she calls herself a “Journalist” a name Will knows in his heart of hearts she never earned!

[@bobbyshaddoe3004]

Exactly!

[@John-Adams]

Journalists are propagandists, all of them. And most are stupid.

[@bartheus88]

One of the best and most powerful scenes in TV series or movie. Second is Will McAvoy's rant on why America ain't best country in the world anymore. :)

[@Lovebug06901]

What about Sloans takedown of the Celebrity Map app.?

[@mattm9857]

Yeah, as Australia turns its military on its citizens. Belgium attacks religious beliefs. Canada stops travel, disarms citizens, and no freedom of speech. France no freedom of speech, no right to self defense, and individual freedoms. Tell me again how any of that "rant" wasn't absolute bullshit.

[@darkhorseash4337]

This scene is even better when you consider that being a journalist, the kind will and them are, is what Nina really wanted.

[@robynharris7179]

“No little girl dreams of growing up to be a gossip columnist.” - Nina It is so beautiful that even Nina, as damaged and soulless as she had become, wanted to do better. Will’s mission to civilize really did have *some* small victories.

[@bobbyshaddoe3004]

@@robynharris7179 yeah, she wanted to do better.... But didn't. That was HER choice. Instead of actually sticking to her convictions, she decided to dedicate her life to being a petty bottom feeding troll.

[@gregh5061]

@@robynharris7179 I think a lot of girls have always dreamt of being gossip columnists. Pays well to do something they enjoy doing anyway. Nothing wrong with that, same as boys wanting to grow up to do sports commentators. But that doesn't make it journalism.

I have know idea how these two got together after this. He full out threatened her. There is no way they became a couple after she blackmailed him.

[@tomsurber2293]

Will lied here. He didn't hire Mack to be his EP. It was Charlie who did that.

[@KS-xk2so]

Will should've done this entire scene with his dick and balls hanging out of his pants, but not acknowledge it in any way, as a sign of dominance. Would've fit the tone of the scene perfectly.

[@chrisbriscoe2543]

Y’all realize that 99% of the news, including Fox, is the blonde, right? Right?!

[@bobbyshaddoe3004]

That's exactly the point Sorkin is making and has made over the course of the show. ACN are the only ones that seem to genuinely want to REPORT the news while literally every one else wants to MAKE news irrespective of the truth and of the actual facts, and also have absolutely no qualms on who they trounce on just to FIRST. Other networks have no honor, no compassion, no morals, no scruples, no conscience, and no remorse.

[@tvtitlechampion3238]

@@bobbyshaddoe3004 which is why ACN is something of a chimeric ideal, something to live up to, even with its warts-and-all humanity, maybe especially because of it.
