Will McAvoy Pens a Note
Twitter is still aflame over favorite homicidal-drug-dealing son Bryan Cranston losing to Jeff Daniels (!) for best actor in the Emmy sweepstakes. Get over it, folks. I have my own love/hate relationship with The Newsroom but Jeff is great. Moving on: The top Louisville newspaper ran a letter to the editor from a W. McAvoy which was word for word from a recent Newsroom. They soon pulled it but check out the readers' comments for some fun reactions, such as: "I found myself laughing hysterically this morning as I was glancing over
the forum and 'GOP Requirements' caught my eye. I read the article,
and found myself feeling as if I had heard it before. Then, when I saw 'W. McAvoy, 40222' I knew I had heard it the previous Sunday. I must
say, shame on the C-J editorial staff for not catching it. But then
again, not everybody watches HBO. On the other hand, I completely agree
with [the fictional] Mr. McAvoy's statement."

Interesting, but frustratingly incomplete. How about quoting the 'pulled' article, newspaper comments, or the original Newsroom rant? Make it interesting!
