That's one of my favourites as well!
I also like the scene where Will grills that gay republican on air, it's as brilliant as it is nauseating.
I didn't see this one mentioned but I love the episode with Shelly Wexler from OWS. The scene when will pins her to the cork by making sense and then the subsequent verbal back hands that Neal keeps accidentally subjecting her to while trying to mend fences. That as comedy gold.

Omg!!!! I just discovered this show-i'm bingewatching now. On season 1 episode 5!!!
shareI love all the scenes already mentioned, but the scene that moves me the most in this show is not part of The Newsroom's narrative. It is the montage behind the program's opening credits that aired the first season. When I saw THAT, I was enraptured. The montage opens with a shot of Telstar, the very first TV satellite in orbit of Earth, which allowed TV news to be truly global. It then segues to a montage of the titanic pioneers of TV news: Ed Murrow, the man who fundamentally invented TV news by the simple act of putting Joe McCarthy on-camera and showing the nation what a corrupt little despot he was, Walter Cronkite, who was actually voted "the most trusted man in America," David Brinkley . . . And then it segues to opening credits and shifts from greyscale (black and white) images to color. My father was the anchorman for the CBS TV affiliate in our city in the 50s, so I know the history of TV journalism well. I think TV news is in a dismal state today. This inspired montage helped to give me hope that perhaps it can regain its former greatness and again give us the thrill, hope and enlightenment that we experienced when we as a nation all, together, watched a live broadcast of a very brave person with a gigantic rocket strapped to him, being launched toward the stars.
