MATH CLASS IS HARD: I've been trying to give The Newsroom plenty of time to work the kinks out, but I think that after last night I may be done. That dynamic between McHale and McAvoy, where McAvoy and Sorkin can't stop themselves from belittling her (she's a cheater; she's jealous; she can't do math, he announces to the newsroom; she doesn't understand economics at even a high-school level; she's ethical but too stupid to recognize ethical problems), even when McAvoy is busy saving her from the mean people -- is just disturbing.
