Most Honest Three Minutes in TV History

[truedelphi]

At least that is how the title of this video segment from the TV show "The Newsroom" reads. There might be comparable footage out there, in terms of honesty, but this is still worth watching::

1. American exceptionalism...

The dying civilization... we are gathering steam to become the next HAS BEEN…


Thank you for asking …

3. You're cute.

Did you think that up all by yourself?

[tenderfoot]

4. Corresponds directly with the CORPORATIZATION of America

troll.

5. Gee you are only 100% wrong. It started with Reagan and his smaller government movement,

which if you did know started in the 1980s. We did get here all at once.

6. I suspect they are referring to the Civil Rights Act and desegregation.

That's usually what "federal intrusion into public education" means

13. He had me until about two minutes in,

when he slipped into rose-colored nostalgia.

Ask a Native American how great this country used to be.

16. Yeah I totally agree. There was no racism or homophobia or nothing

bad years ago?

It started out good.

14. I have seen that at least half a dozen times now.

But it still is worth watching... he is a great actor and really puts emotion in it...not to mention speaking great truth to stupidity.
K&R.

17. I ACTUALLY THOUGHT THE LAST MIN OR SO WAS PERFECT, AS WILL'S CHARACTER WAS NOT

Just another negative nutjob, or having an angry episode, etc. The good ole days weren't so good if you were brown, red or black, of course, but Will wasn't addressing that in his reflection. Reflecting on our racism of old would've taken from the point that we did many things right in the past. The last minute or so was perfect because it followed the first two minutes of harsh, honest truth. Anyway, that just how I saw this great clip that I've seen at least half a dozen times and love each time.
