In the first episode, Will faced the ignorance of a little girl, and finally couldn't resist years of anger, and made a deep attack on the current situation in the United States.
In the tenth episode, the same little girl asked him the same question again: "What makes America the greatest country in the world?", Will answered without hesitation: "You do."
Will realized his ideal and quoted him The words the gossip columnist said, "To Civilize." The tone was arrogant, but so sincere.
He, Mac, and his team, in this virtual world, refuse to entertain news reports and advocate the restoration of facts, even if they are incovenient to the public.
They tried their best to restore the 1950s when journalism was at its peak. They did it. "A Doctor pronounces her dead, not the news."
They also had self-doubt. Sloan said, "42% was exactly the same number before I was talking debt ceilings."
But this team has a common ideal and they support each other. Don retorted her, "Maybe it would have gone higher, Maybe you helped keep it at 42%.", Just as he raised Sloan's head back then. What we are after is beautiful things, we don't need to bow our heads and admit our mistakes.
In the end, they won, in this virtual world. Nina, the gossip columnist, permanently deleted a stolen voice message. She breathed a long sigh of relief, enjoying the comfort of her demons dissipating. We can't help but compromise with this society, but we can still live with dignity.
In the end, they won, in this real world. At the moment when you and I can't control the tear glands.
