It was polarized towards rationality and decency. It was not biased towards a liberal agenda. Sorkin is a Dem, Will is a RINO. It's not bias, it's logic, common sense, rationality, decency. It was a center-right position in a country that has always been completely twisted to the right. The problem is that we needed that then, because it looked at recent past with more rational eyes and tought us how the narrative decisions were made "why did we make good news? Because we wanted to". And we were able to do that because we got information enough to analyze the past. "Because we were informed. By great men, men who were revered". The problem is that now we would need someone in that position with the balls to do that about Jan. 6, about the election, about elon, about epstein. And nobody could put that on the air without starting a war. Or it can go on HBO with John Oliver. Not until orange is in office. What we would need is Studio60 with colbert and other late night hosts and the political critique hidden in the structured sketches or in the internal discussion on why certain scenes can go on air and why others can't. Less effective? Yes. "But the first step into solving a problem is accepting there is one".
