‘The Newsroom’ Ends the Season on a Classic Note

August 29, 2012
Newsroom

HBO’s hit series, THE NEWSROOM, wrapped its first season with an emotionally charged episode featuring The Who’s “Baby O’Riley.” 

The classic song soundtracks a montage in which anchorman Will McAvoy (played to the hilt by Jeff Daniels) staggers out of the hospital after a medical emergency and back to the office to lead the team in a deep expose on the Romney campaign.
