The Newsroom (no, not that one) is a CBC Sitcom created by and starring Ken Finkleman, running for three seasons between 1996 and 2005, which included the fourth-wall breaking Made-for-TV Movie Escape from the Newsroom (2002). It was screened briefly on PBS in the mid-2000s.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The series centers around an unnamed Toronto television station (strongly implied to be a fictionalized version of the CBC's own CBLT) and its self-centered news director, George Findlay (Finkleman), who generally cares more about how he looks to the corporate higher-ups or which woman he wants to sleep with than about practicing good journalism. Jim Walcott (Peter Keleghan), the anchor for the program City Hour, is equally shallow but far less intelligent, while Karen Mitchell (Karen Hines), one of Findlay's segment producers, is the Only Sane Woman who calls out the foibles and ignorant prejudices of the rest of the cast.Not to be confused with the HBO series of the same name. | |

| The Newsroom 1996 / int_222dc873 | comment |
Black Comedy: Season 1 ends with the cast celebrating Jim's victory in the provincial election, even though Jim is still comatose from an assassination attempt and he flatlines in the room with them just as the election is called. | |

Chronic Backstabbing Disorder | |
| The Newsroom 1996 / int_7c862b8a | comment |
Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: In Season 1, George deliberately gets Jim hooked on prescription drugs in order to force him out of his job as anchor so that his new co-host, Lindsay Ward, can take over the show. Then when Lindsay gets George barred from the newsroom, he uses deceptively-edited video of Lindsay consuming wine to portray her to the corporate brass as an alcoholic, which leads to her getting shipped off to Winnipeg. | |
