Fox News rips 'The Newsroom'

To the shock of no one who has seen the program, the people at Fox News are not that fond of Aaron Sorkin's HBO series 'The Newsroom'.

On Fox News' hit series, 'The Five,' the show was the topic of discussion during a roundtable segment titled "Hollywood Lionizes Liberals." 'Newsroom' was specifically portrayed as covering the "liberal agenda" because of the way that its characters perceive things such as the Tea Party and its protestors, as well as  the Occupy Wall Street movement, differently.

Greg Gutfeld talked about the monologue that Jeff Daniels' character, Will McAvoy, delivered where he compared the Tea Party to the "American Taliban."

If you have not seen that monologue, here it is (In the interest of fairness, here is a link to Fox News' segment as well.):

Gutfeld contrasts that piece with Dev Patel's character, a news staffer, who praises the Occupy Wall Street movement, saying it is similar to the "Arab spring."

"When was this series written? Before the rapes, the murders, before OWS disappeared?" Gutfeld stated. "But that's the great thing about TV. Whatever fails horribly in reality is resurrected in lib land as the victor."

"Wasn't Jeff Daniels in Dumb and Dumber?" asked Eric Bolling. "Was he Lloyd or Harry?"

Of course, Bob Beckel - the show's lone liberal voice - admitted that he enjoys the program, but added that it was "sort of setting themselves up" for scorn and criticism with comments like the "American Taliban" part.

What do you think? Are 'The Five' right or does 'The Newsroom' hit a little too close to home for their comfort?

The second season of 'The Newsoom' premieres on Friday, July 14th. Will you be tuning in?
