00:00I am such a huge fan of the newsroom and I feel like that show could have lasted forever because
00:04it's just about the previous year's news and it's you know I just think we need it now I'm
00:09wondering if you ever find yourself thinking about how would Mackenzie cover what's happening
00:15in the world right now totally I mean I think about it all the time and there's a line that
00:19I had to say in the newsroom which was there's nothing more important for democracy than a
00:25well-informed electorate and and that it seems to me that the main trouble in the world right now is
00:34that information the lack of kind of truthful information the difficulty in finding information
00:41that has been vetted and is more or less true is um is part of the major pickle that we're
00:48in and I can
00:48remember Aaron Salkin saying that when we were making the show and and the you know the internet
00:54and the world wide web was a kind of fairly new thing and he kept going on about the kind
00:59of you
00:59know the the scourge and the terror of the internet and how it was such a dangerous thing and we
01:04were
01:04like come on get with it granddad like this is fine it's cool it's wonderful and he was so right
01:09it
01:10was so prophetic that show if you look back at it now and I keep thinking he should just do
01:14one now
01:15and now is when we need it more than ever to show us what's happening
