"One week before it ends for all time, The Newsroom trots out its worst episode yet"

"Sorkin is a diehard liberal, but one with a conservative view of society. He wants freedom and equality for all, but do we have to agitate for it?... He is that person on your Facebook feed who understands why people in Ferguson are upset but also doesn't understand why they're protesting. He's the guy who thinks sexual assault is a huge problem but doesn't really want anybody to talk about it."

This is interesting. I have often thought of Sorkin as being an example of a certain type of Liberal who manages to be very passionate and self-sure while also failing to recognize the real problems
