以下都是个人观感：1.是。看第二集will开场白。“Some of history's greatest American journalists are working right now,exceptional minds with years of experience and an unshakeable devotion to reporting the news.But these voices are a small minority now and they don't stand a chance against the circus when the circus comes to town. They're overmatched.I'm quitting the circus and switching teams.I'm going with the guys who are getting creamed.I'm moved that they still think they can win and I hope they can teach me a thing or two.From this moment on, we'll be deciding what goes on our air and how it's presented to you based on the simple truth that nothing is more important to a democracy than a well-informed electorate.新闻工作者目前仍然奋战在一线，以其多年经历沉淀下来的卓著思想和坚定不移的热忱为大家播报着新闻。然而这些声音现在已经极少出现了，马戏团内小丑横行乱作一团（奥巴马在10年接受采访时曾把华盛顿比作一个马戏团）他们已经无力抗衡，他们被打败了。我要退出马戏团，投靠其它团队。我要追随那些战败的人，我被他们那种永不言弃的精神所打动。我希望能够从他们身上学到这种精神，从今以后，将由我们来决定播出的内容和呈现给你们的方式。这一切都基于一个简单的真理：比起让观众做一个见多识广的选民，开启民智才是更为重要的。——About mission to civilize“I'm News Night's managing editor，and make the final decision on everything seen and heard on this program.Who are we to make these decisions?We're the media elite. ”“而我，则是《晚间新闻》的执行总编，也是这个节目所有细节的最终决策人。做出决策的我们是什么人呢？我们是媒体精英。”——About media elite还有骄傲地自认为I'm Don Quixote,you can be Sancho的Charlie对老板Leona Lansing说的：“I engineered a situation wherein an executive producer with a unique ability to bring out the very best in an anchor with a unique ability were paired to do news broadcast this company should proud of.” （media elite）“News organization are a public trust with an ability to inform and influence the national conversation.”（mission to civilize）2.在S1E4中，Will对于Gossip以及娱乐新闻的态度，是否过于严苛？这是否也能作为 Sorkin “精英主义”推崇的表现？不严苛，但剧情很别扭。至于“精英主义”，明显从Will相当反感Nina Howard把他视为“同行”可以看出来。Nina：“you and I do the same thing for a living”Will：That's nuts. I try to expose the truth about things of national importance后面第五集还因为Nina说自己也是journalist，Will愤而收回了堵她嘴的支票。btw这一集槽点好多……前一集Will还一天换一个date好欢乐，这一集忽然成了搭讪不能的死nerd迈不开步；前面还拉着一张写满media elite的扑克脸，这会儿对着一个八卦专栏作家不依不饶地叨逼说教……还有Neal贯穿全集喋喋不休的大脚怪，如果是为了做出笑点的话，我想说真的很失败……剧中很有些时候角色的塑造感觉像纸片人，飘在剧情需要和理念表达的上面别别扭扭的。
