The Newsroom Rewatch: 1x05 - Amen

↳“Come after me all you want, Nina. Come after me everyday. Look through my garbage, invent things out of thin air - that’s what you’re paid for. But you touch my staff and you are walking into a world of hurt. I have an hour of primetime every night and I will rededicate my life to ruining yours.”

The Newsroom Rewatch: 1x01 - We Just Decided To

↳“It sure used to be. We stood up for what was right. We fought for moral reasons. We passed laws, struck down laws for moral reasons. We waged war on poverty, not poor people. We sacrificed, we cared about our neighbors. We put our money where our mouths were, and we never beat our chest. We built great, big things, made ungodly technological advances, explored the universe, cured diseases, and we cultivated the world’s greatest artists and the world’s greatest economy. We reached for the stars, acted like men. We aspired to intelligence, we didn’t belittle it, it didn’t make us feel inferior. We didn’t identify ourselves by who we voted for in the last election. And we didn’t… we didn’t scare so easy. We were able to be all these things and do all these things because we were informed. By great men, men who were revered. First step in solving any problem is recognizing there is one. America is not the greatest country in the world anymore.”
