Using Newsroom Resources, On Election Night, To Trace The Buyer Of Her Book From A Charity Auction
And all the other things women got wrong in the season (maybe series???) finale of The Newsroom.
- asking Will (Jeff Daniels) how he's doing so that he answers for twenty minutes
- diverting newsroom resources -- during a multi-hour live election-night broadcast -- to track down the person who bought her fraudulently autographed book
- "I want to get The Allman Brothers back together."
- making business decisions (handing off control of the company to her son) while high
- slamming into a party guest with a full tray of drinks
- thinking Romney might win Massachusetts
- thinking her unwashed hair might look better if she took it down
- threatening to strike a colleague
- thinking it's acceptable to tell a party waitress, "You can just bring me some more champagne, if it hasn't all been soaked up by your clothes."
- letting some goon make her think she's dumb
- having a multi-state catfight in front of dozens of colleagues
- prefacing an alleged statistic with "almost nobody"
- kissing a colleague in the middle of a control room full of people
- living with a sworn enemy for a year after the falling-out that ended their friendship
- needing some goon to tell her she's tough
- setting Will up -- on camera, no less -- to bloviate about why he's a Republican/superior
- barking "COME ON" in frustration, on air
- accepting Will's proposal of marriage
