‘Newsroom’ pilot available on HBO YouTube channel

HBO premiered its new series “The Newsroom” last night, but many journalists posted on Twitter that they couldn’t watch the much-anticipated news drama because they were busy working in their own newsrooms. Some also tweeted they didn’t watch the pilot because they couldn’t afford an HBO subscription on a reporter’s salary.

Whatever the reason, viewers are getting a second chance to watch the pilot online through YouTube.

HBO announced Monday it would allow people to watch the first episode online for free. It’s unknown how long the pilot will be available online, so it might be wise to take advantage while the content is still available.

I know what I’ll be watching tonight.

Daily Caller reporter defends interrupting President Obama during speech

Posted by Tiffany Gibson | Published June 20, 2012 at 8:24 pm | Comments 0

A Daily Caller reporter who interrupted President Barack Obama last week during a speech about the president’s new immigration policy appeared on Fox News to defend his actions.

Neil Munro told Sean Hannity that he thought Obama was mid-sentence when he interrupted him.

“The only way to ask [Obama] a question at these events is to get him at the end as he’s leaving just before he dashes back to the Oval Office…Yes, I mistimed it. I thought I was getting him at the end and frankly, I was wrong about that,” Munro said.

The Huffington Post reports that Hannity then played a clip of reporters interrupting President Ronald Reagan in 1986 during his remarks. Watch the video interview here.
