The opening of The NewsRoom reminds me of a story of two people living in the wilderness, and God gave them a fishing rod and a basket of fish. The man with the fishing rod hurried to the river, ready to look for villages along the river, and the other man with a basket of fish was ready to search for possible homes nearby.

As a result, the man with the fishing rod starved to death before he reached the river, and the mermaid with a basket of fish ate and starved to death without finding a village.

The right-leaning Republicans are the ones with the fishing rod, the left-leaning Democrats are the ones with a basket of fish, and the show's protagonists honorably play the role of the exalted God. From the beginning of Will's deafening speech, there is a strong moral smell. "We fight for moral reasons..." This is used to prove that America was once the greatest country ever.

Americans may find this paragraph very emotional and shocking, especially for left-leaning liberals. However, as a Chinese, I know the horror of the German emperor. What are the disasters of self-mutilation again and again in modern Chinese history? Not once in the name of high-sounding morality? Morality cannot cover up the weakness of human selfishness, but the moral emperors always like to hide in the crowd, standing on the commanding heights of morality and inflicting violence on other individuals to satisfy their selfish desires.

I watched Will's speech twice in the first episode, the first was thoughtful and the second was disgusting.

Obviously, morality is regarded as the core selling point of the play by the screenwriter, and private goods are entrained in the name of morality. The impartiality and objectivity promoted by New 2.0 is only left. And only justice means that Will and others have officially advanced to become gods and have the right to judge others from a moral point of view. As for morality, everyone's heart is different. In my opinion as a Chinese, their moral consciousness is no different from that of the Mao era.

From the moment the protagonists become gods, the film has moved away from human nature and reality, and moved closer to idealism and heroism. Although the writers used the facts of the past few years to report, almost all of them defended the Democratic Party, attacked the Republican Party, and even used assertions and insinuations in several places.

Will: Lowering the minimum wage protection can indeed help increase employment, but do you know what else can increase employment demand? Slavery! ("Abolishing the minimum wage would create jobs. You know what else would? Slavery!")

There are places like this in almost every episode, which directly imply to the audience the political views of the Democratic Party, big government, Keynesianism, abortion, Attack the Tea Party and directly attack Rand Paul, who is now running for Vice President. It's not so much watching a TV show as watching Obama's campaign ads, which is of course the smarter one.

The two love triangles became the final highlight of the show, but the depressing thing is that the screenwriter has cast the heroine as a natural and often hysterical image, which makes people suspicious of these journalists who are "never bad for themselves but for others". professional quality.

Personally, if the screenwriter makes Will and others be gods, don’t make them crazy, just focus on Rudy’s sensationalism and collectivism, otherwise don’t make them gods, be a person with emotions, be so right to yourself So do others. When it comes to politics and economy, it is full of a sense of justice and moral mission like a god, and when it comes to the love of children, all kinds of hysteria make me feel that if the characters in the film are not schizophrenic, then I am watching two different films. , a Northeastern hodgepodge of an Obama campaign ad and a love triangle-centric romance?
