The TRUTH Of America

**BlueDragonFire** · 07-04-12 at 09:43 AM

This was posted by a friend on FB. It comes from the HBO series "The Newsroom" {never saw it myself}. I rather wish this stuff was REALLY said where it counts {instead of on a fictional show}.

Posted here instead of "Off Topic" because I feel it's certainly deep thinking.

Peace to you and yours,

Great actor, he makes some good and relevant points. Thanks dude, my friends love it.

Yer... Covers a couple of important bits in a way that we will never ever see in US governmental reality.

HBO has the first episode up on the Youtube channel for those that want to watch it. It's the first scene in the first episode. Sadly people still don't understand that first 4 to 5 minutes because the comments are littered with ignorance.

You can't watch it or read/leave comments if you are in the UK.

Of course you can find it elsewhere...

What is the theme of the ignorant comments?

Message from HBO: USA sucks. But let's be more like Norway, even though they had that massacre with people not being able to carry guns that was a thousand times worse than any tragedy happening in the USA.

Did the "anchor" leave out economic freedom as well? Hmm, I wonder why.

We "acted like men"? Apparently Sorkin forgot that there are women in the United States. Just as he's forgotten that women — and minorities — do not have such a glorious read on our nation's history.

Things like this, and mostly others saying Liberal Agenda without watching the whole thing.

I almost dismissed this until it reached the 2:04 mark, then BAM!!! it said all the things I believe and have seen over the last (almost) 60 years. Wow, simply impressive.

We should still be proud of where we live, no matter where or what country. Proud enough to want to see it change for\towards the better.

Happy 4th of July!
