Review of 5/1

The Newsroom: 5/1 (2012)
Season 1, Episode 7
10/10
1.7 is **** When Discretion Has to Be Used ****
5 August 2012
Warning: Spoilers
Ethical considerations aside, this episode deals when the news media has to use discretion whether or not to announce a major story before the chief executive has his say. The story in question was the killing of Osama Bin Laden.

Sam Waterston is wonderful here, especially when he describes the mistake he made which led to the death of 3 people.

It also goes to show you that airline rules while in a plane must be observed.

While there is some time set aside for romantic bickering, the episode showed how the news team coalesces when a major story is breaking. It also shows what is done when someone may break that trust.
