On paper, Aaron Sorkin's HBO 2012-2014 TV news drama was much different than Apple TV+'s flagship series, says Sonia Rao. "The Morning Show begins with the firing of a broadcast news program’s anchor over sexual misconduct allegations against him, while The Newsroom kicks off with the hiring of a new executive producer to revive a broadcast news program’s journalistic integrity. But while watching, the similarities between the series, especially when it comes to the writing, become more apparent." Rao pulls dramatic quotes from The Newsroom and The Morning Show and challenges readers to guest which show is which.
