"Dan Rather has given his endorsement to Aaron Sorkin&amp;#039;s new HBO drama series The Newsroom. Sorkin&amp;#039;s latest series has received mixed reviews from critics, but legendary former CBS newsman Rather praised the realism of the show in a Gawker article. The legendary newsman wrote in his review: &amp;quot;Sure, I&amp;#039;ve got my nits to pick with it; and, no, it&amp;#039;s not perfect. But there&amp;#039;s a lot to like in what Sorkin and his cast have done here.  &amp;quot;There is a newsroom authenticity to what&amp;#039;s presented and much that gets to the heart of modern American journalism&amp;#039;s problems.&amp;quot; Rather acknowledged that The Newsroom is &amp;quot;a bit too preachy here and there&amp;quot;, but suggested those reviewers disappointed with the show largely missed the point. &amp;quot;[T]hey&amp;#039;ve somehow missed the breadth, depth and &amp;#039;got it right&amp;#039; qualities - and importance - of Newsroom... From where I sit and based on my experience, Sorkin and crew have got it amazingly right, even when they over-talk it,&amp;quot; he noted. Sorkin previously commented that he intended The Newsroom to have fun with the &amp;quot;cynicism&amp;quot; of modern journalism. The Newsroom airs Sundays on HBO and will air in the UK from July 10 on Sky Atlantic. Watch a preview of The Newsroom below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
