Seems to reign even in places held in high esteem. absolutely. i think if there s a profit incentive in the news, that the news simply can t be credible. if i can clarify, i guess i meantรง more what ezra was sayi, delivering a story that catches people, not because it s bombastic but because it s good, it s a good story and good news. it s interesting. unfortunately, this episode of our newsroom has to come to an end. i do want to leave everyone with a great analysis of what you re doing. it s not to the tune of any song from brigadoon. new york magazine writing i like sorkin s optimism. the very quality many of my colleagues are hanging in with, he seems convinced that no matter how bad things get, they can always be made better, provided we re willing to do our homework, engage in civil debate, put common sense ahead of ego and work together. that s a very nice statement. civil debate was the most ....
being able to see you changed peoples lives has got to be worth it. let s talk about the news business. you said news shows should be exempt from having to deliver ratings which is a brilliant concept, but i would like to know more about why you think that. on the show that you ve created, ratings are obviously certainly part of the game but there seems to be a core belief that you can have a great news program and also get great ratings. again, that s the idealism of the show. this is a show that s making constant references, whether it s don quixote or brigadoon, it s making constant allusions to lost cities. this show is fiction set against the backdrop of real events. it used to be that networks had a real firewall between entertainment and news. ....
Petticoat junction, gilligan s island, news were supposed to be a loss leader and ratings weren t supposed to matter. when the original deal was made, the inventors of broadcasting and of network news made their original deal with congress for, they wanted free use of the air waves. congress said sure, but in exchange, you have to give us back then it was one hour, not a half hour, one hour of what they called informational programming, we call it the nightly news now. if they had gone one step further and said under no circumstances can there be paid advertising during that hour, imagine how different the news landscape would be. a wildly different place. this show is a cross between brigadoon and petticoat junction in a lot of ways. yeah. i m a big fan i like the long sorkin-esque ....
many of the jury deliberated for nearly 21 hours before reaching the verdict and this was the reaction when the public learned his fate. a short time later, a remarkable sight outside the courthouse as he was led away in handcuffs expressing no emotion. i want to get to one of the man that defended jerry sandusky, his attorney. what is your reaction to the conviction? obviously i am disappointed. i will take a little solace in the fact that the witness i cross-examined, mike mcqueary, did not sustain the count of sodomy they promise that cost joe paterno his job. overall, we did not do as well as we would have liked. we were rushed and underprepared based on the back discovery was given to us thousands of pages right before the trial started. that joe amendola rose to the occasion and we presented key evidence and that is part of the reason we got the acquittals we did. in the 20 some our deliberation. freezing of few eyebrows, his conduct over the last couple of days ....
handcuffs, expressing no emotion. now we go right to the attorney carl remminger. what is your reaction to the conviction? well, obviously i m a little disappointed. i will take a little solace in the fact that the witness i cross examined, mike mcqueary, did not sustain the count of sodomy that the government had promised which cost joe paterno his job. we felt we were a little rushed based on the fact that discovery was given to us, thousands of pages, right before trial started. but joe amendola rose to the occasion and we presented some key evidence. that s part of the reason we got the acquittals that we did. people have been raising eyebrows at joe amendola s conduct over the last couple of days. he seems to be taking a strangely frivolous view of what is going on, cracking jokes, saying today he would have a heart attack if his client was acquitted. what was that about? well, you know, you have to understand joe has worked tirelessly, and i mean the man has ....
