From a European perspective I’m always amazed at how Americans reacted to Bin Laden’s death. It seems more like a football game win than anything else.
As much as this episode is great television, I do find it contradicts the point of “the newsroom” which wants to show how journalism can be different to what it is right now. In this episode however, it does not deliver that. The team of newsnight 2.0 is not “delivering the news” as the information would have broken like 10 minutes later by the president himself. That is not investigative or thought provoking journalism, but the speculative half-baked rumor spreading that we have today
