LA, CA — Aaron Sorkin, writer, producer, and creator of HBO’s acclaimed series ‘The Newsroom’, has confirmed reports that he has already written an episode that morally condemns the Obama administration’s actions in response to reports of chemical weapon use in Syria, whatever those as-yet-undecided actions may or may not be.

“What’s great is that the president is in a position where no matter what he does he’ll be viewed as a failure, so it was very easy for me to take the moral high-ground on whatever he eventually decides to do,” said Sorkin in response to criticism that it was far too early to write an episode of an otherwise historically-accurate show based on events that have not yet happened.

“And let’s be honest, it’s not like there’s any chance we won’t bomb them, so it was pretty easy to predict what would happen.”

The series follows holier-than-thou news anchor Will McAvoy (Jeff Daniels) and his nightly news team as they utilize the luxury of perfect hindsight to condemn real-life news stories that occurred a year in the past, a staggered timeline that places Sorkin and his writing staff in a proverbial Ivory Tower where they can observe the way events play out before crafting storylines that morally criticize the difficult decisions of hard-working Americans.

“After writing so much about news that’s already happened I got bored and decided it would be a fun exercise to start writing about things that are more-than-likely going to happen. Turns out if you study history enough then it’s pretty easy to predict every action the US will take. Especially when it comes to foreign policy,” Sorkin coolly stated while leaning back in a chair and putting his hands behind his head.

Sorkin, who does not hold a degree in journalism, political science, law, or history – let alone first-hand experience in any related fields – feels that he is best-suited to the task of morally dissecting the intricacies of US national policy, cable news coverage, and courtroom decisions, a task that he believes should no longer be restricted to events that have already happened.

“Syria’s been easy. Obama hands the decision off to a lazy congress that’s so partisan a clear decision doesn’t get made at which point Obama goes ahead with the attacks without congressional consent creating a ripple effect that results in a longer-than-anticipated war effort leading to the inevitable overthrow of Syria’s government that places an extremist regime in power that we then feel morally obligated to dismantle so as to bolster our relationships with Israel and Russia while everyone at home bickers about whose fault it is that we all got into this mess in the first place, yadda yadda yadda everyone’s mad. Boom. Season 3 written. Any questions?”

Although the show is only on its second season and has not been officially renewed for future episodes, Sorkin has already begun writing episodes for season 4 in which he openly lambasts the winner of the 2016 presidential election and introduces several new love triangles so as to pander to an audience he respects less with each new episode.
