Sid Robinovitch's theme song for The Newsroom is one of the best ever, and the theme (instrumental) captured the mood and underlying solemnity of a satirical series.
The Newsroom was unapologetically hard-edged for sure, and it was critically acclaimed. I'm a big fan of The Newsroom although the characters weren't exactly lovable.
One scene really disturbed me. It was when George Findlay, the executive producer, had an incredibly offensive discussion with a Canadian news anchor of Chinese descent. Interesting, when I saw an interview with the actor Ken Finkleman (who also created The Newsroom) he felt uncomfortable with performing the scene. He felt uncomfortable??!!! What about the poor Chinese actor who no doubt felt humiliated having to earn a Canadian dollar to be on screen?
