    Yes! As a 50 year old American, those statements resonate with me 100%. So true.

    No, it's The Most BITTER Three Minutes In Television History. What a putz. I mean really. Why do all of those countries have freedom? So he literally cusses out the woman next to him, and then the young female student. The sheer mysogyny is incredibly hateful. A total tool.

    So his answer to the reason we are not the greatest country anymore is because we don't have MAINSTREAM MEDIA TELLING US WHAT THEY WANT US TO HEAR AND BELEIVE? We don't have their guidance and morality anymore. We have wondered off an listened to charletens and hucksters instead of THEM.

    No, the reason our country is off the rails and sinking is WAY more complex than that. And it would take way more than three minutes to cover it.

    Now, I'm going to bed. Good night.

    Actually that is exactly what we have, mainstream media telling us what they want us to hear not actually what is going on.

    Big fuss over a clip from a mediocre TV drama that's two or three years old by now....

    That might be true, but I still agree with much of what he said.

    as a person that doesn't like sorkin nor his holier than thou tone...all this scene does is remind me of what a pandering asshole he is.

    my wife loves this show and i can't stand that she watches it.



    Let's face it...some women just look better with their clothes ON

    Well Sorkin can be superb - the West Wing had its god bless america failings but, by and large, was good. This series though was mediocre, even if deep down its political heart was in the right place.

    As a soon to be 69 year old liberal American, I too believe much of what he said is spot on.
