HBO's Tea Party-Bashing 'Newsroom' Writer Thanks Think Progress for 'Vital' Research
As NewsBusters previously reported, this past Sunday's Tea Party-bashing episode of HBO's The Newsroom featured a lead character prominently mentioning the far-left, George Soros-funded propaganda organization Think Progress.
On Monday, the co-author of that episode, one Gideon Yago, tweeted his thanks to TP reporter Adam Peck for "reporting and archiving" that was "vital to the research we did":
@TP_Adam My pleasure and thank you!Your reporting and archiving was vital to the research we did.

This came in response to Peck's gratitude for the aforementioned plug:
@gideonyago thanks for the ThinkProgress shoutout on last night's episode!
— Adam Peck (@TP_Adam) July 9, 2012
So, one of the most far-left propaganda outlets in the nation, funded by one of the world's most far-left billionaires, is helping HBO writers with "research and archiving."
That gives you a warm feeling all over, doesn't it?
As for Yago, he is a former correspondent for MTV and CBS News making his screenwriting debut with The Newsroom. On Sunday, he boasted about this being his first writing credit:
After 5 years scrivening for development, tonight = my first writing credit c/o a very generous boss. All the good lines are his. #Newsroom

That boss would be Aaron Sorkin.
Makes you wonder if TP will continue to provide left-wing propaganda to Sorkin and Yago to bash conservatives in the coming weeks.
Stay tuned.

How typical of Liberals. They love to live their fantasies through television! LOL
The West Wing and countless other idiotic shows give Liberals something to dream about since in reality most of their ideas, most of what they put forth is complete and utter nonsense that in the real world does not work and causes more misery and despair than prosperity.
See Europe, a Liberal's paradise, morally bankrupt as well as its economy. Yet, Liberals keep on telling us that their ideology works.
What more proof is required
