Titled “5/1,” Sunday’s episode of the acclaimed drama series situated inside a TV newsroom followed the journalists on May 1, 2011—the night the world learned of the death of Osama bin Laden. The characters on the show learn of the news via a tweet from The Rock that night.
Kudos to The Newsroom for acknowledging wrestling’s place that night. I haven’t seen the episode yet, but I’ll ask a question I feel nobody’s discussed: why were wrestlers, of all people, the first people from which we heard this news?
