Capital City blows The West Wing, Studio 60, and The Newsroom out of the water. https://youtu.be/2ouUjR0llVI?si=BOm8qsE1IG1AlKWJ

The fly landed on Pence not Trump

Unfortunately I’ve watched this entire series and the thing that makes Olivia Munn’s decline even worse is how David Harbour’s character started as a drooling moron basically and then he’s suddenly also another very serious and smart news man.

What if they actually ended it with “have a little faith in me”

i caused a traffic accident on the ring road to write this post

Mildly surprised Luke seems so unfamiliar with Pete Townsend’s mega hit let my love open the door, (used to good effect in Gross Point Blake and, I think, Freaks and Geeks.) This is a horrendously mid cover of it. Doesn’t try to at least reinterpret the song , basically a straight less good cover,

The way you guys describe Aaron sorkin's treatment of female characters reminds me a lot of Steven moffatt's writing on Doctor who It's like identical

I quite agree that the private television networks play an outsized role in the US electoral process, but it's largely a function of the federal system here. I can tell you how the counting process works in one county, having done a stint as a poll worker. A voter is given one or more scantron sheets, shades in the relevant ovals and personally runs it through a machine that counts the different ovals. During the time people are voting, there are scrutineers who keep an eye on things. I'm pretty sure there are also 'fake' voters who function as scrutineers, and have to be provided either with provisional ballots or told they've come to the wrong polling station and where the right one is. Once the station closes, the station boss does a reconciliation process with the total votes and the ballots. This may involve a hand-count of ballots, but the only detailed accounting I remember is a review of ballots whose votes weren't registering. A scrutineer can be present throughout all this but they usually leave once they are satisfied with the reconciliation total. Then we boxed up all the ballots, and put them into the back of a lorry which would take them to the county's election HQ, along with a certified electronic record. HQ passed the information along to the state capital, and it would also be uploaded to the county website.

Sorry to see the Newsroom go on hiatus. I will once again recommend For All Mankind on Apple TV as a good option for another series deserving this kind of analysis. The whole alternative history timeline ought to provide a couple of episodes' worth of a grist to your mill.
