Mr. Sorkin, please write more Newsroom, just for me.

I think that's what gets me about Newsroom: Will sees so clearly that it has all gone to hell, but that we could, just by deciding to, get it back.
We can make it better than ever.
We have that much power available, just for the effort of imagining it.

I miss Newsroom.
I miss knowing that there is someone else out there who, like me, knows that America isn't the greatest country in the world anymore.

1. Loyalty.
2. Forbearance: self-control towards others.
3. Hardihood.
4. Generosity: not just a simple matter of giving away what one has, but "Largitas in a man caused him to set no store on greed or gifts, and to have nothing but contempt for bribes."
5. Benevolence. The Davidic ethic: It is the strongest quality of the preudomme - benevolence of the strong toward the weak.
6. Honor: honor is achieved by living up to the ideal of the preudomme and pursuing the qualities and behavior listed above.

7. Championship: everywhere and always be the champion of the Right and the Good against Injustice and Evil.
