the news room--HBO
下面是其中开始第一集的一段演讲，这段演讲不错: "为什么美国不是世界上最伟大的国家" - 有敢于直言的人的国家, 才不会衰落.
And with a straight face, you’re gonna sit there and tell students that
America is so star-spangled awesome that we’re the only ones in the world
who have freedom? Canada has freedom. Japan has freedom. The U.K. France.
Italy. Germany. Spain. Australia. BELGIUM has freedom. (laughs) Two hundred
and seven sovereign states in the world, like, a hundred and eighty of them
have freedom.
"And you, Sorority Girl, just in case you accidentally wander into a voting
booth one day, there’s some things you should know. One of them is there’s
absolutely no evidence to support the statement that we’re the greatest
country in the world. We’re seventh in literacy. Twenty-seventh in math.
Twenty-second in science. Forty-ninth in life expectancy. A hundred and
seventy-eighth in infant mortality. Third in median household income. Number
four in labor force and number four in exports. We lead the world in only
three categories: Number of incarcerated citizens per capita, number of
adults who believe angels are real, and defense spending, where we spend
more than the next twenty-six countries combined, twenty-five of whom are
allies.
"Now none of this is the fault of a twenty-year-old college student, but you
nonetheless are without a doubt a member of the worst, period, generation,
period, ever, period. So when you ask what makes us the greatest country in
the world, I dunno what the fuck you’re talkin’ about. Yosemite?
"Sure used to be. We stood up for what was right. We fought for moral
reasons. We passed laws, struck down laws, for moral reasons. We waged wars
on poverty, not poor people. We sacrificed. We cared about our neighbors. We
put our money where our mouths were. And we never beat our chest.
"We built great big things, made ungodly technological advances, explored
the universe, cured diseases, and we cultivated the world’s greatest
artists and the world’s greatest economy. We reached for the stars.
Acted like men.
"We aspired to intelligence. We didn’t belittle it—it didn’t make us feel
inferior.
"We didn’t identify ourselves by who we voted for in the last election, and
we didn’t, oh, we didn’t scare so easy. Ha. We were able to be all these
things and do all these things because we were informed. By great men. Men
who were revered. First step in solving any problem is recognizing there is
one. America is not the greatest country in the world anymore.
Enough? "
而且这个剧的信息量特别的大，尤其是第三集我看了三遍，然后查了很多的资料才搞明白。
三权分立必需加上第四权媒体的监督才能良好的运行下去。
看着国内的媒体一步一步的娱乐话，低俗话，不知道什么时候才能拨乱反正，恢复到一个大国应有的风范，或者说能够代表社会良知，引领社会进步。
