Aaron Sorkin's "The Newsroom" is a certifiable hit among viewers, snagging 2.2 million viewers during its season two premiere. 

However, not everyone is a fan. The show is especially disliked by journalists. So much so that it's become almost a sport of sorts to trash the show on Twitter.

One of our favorite reporters, Heidi Moore of the Guardian has been taking part in this collective hate-watching and joined TakeTwo to discuss the collective hate-watching.
