Government Hollywood Style

How About A Nice Hollywood Lecture?  Emily Mortimer's natural venue Congress calls actresses to testify about farm issues— because they played farmers in a movie.  A nation learns what good government is by watching an uber left-wing television series West Wing.  Now, the New York Times touts another fantasy, ‘Newsroom,’ from HBO (automatic for " left-wing") as the model  failing CNN might adopt. Huh?  I rather think that the  CNN and MSNBC amalgam were models for the HBO fantasy.  Salon  interviewed Rachel Maddow, I mean Emily Mortimer, who plays  the Maddow character in Newsroom. “ .Americans are dangerously uninformed "The Newsroom's" Emily Mortimer calls the Tea Party a "lunatic fringe," and says Americans fall too easily for lies [...] Q. Are you as troubled by America’s news culture as Sorkin seems to be? A. I can remember when Bush got in for the second time, just feeling like so much of the problem about the way that politics go here is that people are improperly informed. That they didn’t know that they had been lied to, or they didn’t understand exactly to what extent they had been, and they still thought that there were weapons of mass destruction ” She is surprisingly fresh and inciteful, ja?  I guess the only hope for us then, is a nice reeducation camp.
