Breaking the 'news' Make room for truth: New HBO series goes behind the scenes of news show Dee Wright TV Media

omedians like Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and Bill Maher are some of the leading sources of political news nowadays. The pundits provide facts about governmental developments and policies while providing entertainment and comic relief about serious issues.

Though the media is supposed to be unbiased and unwavering based on events in the world, satirists like Colbert take an obvious side on the political spectrum to show some of the exaggerations made by the opposite parties.

HBO's new series follows a news show that started out as a simple broadcast but ends up breaking down walls that so many have been avoiding. Starring Jeff Daniels, Jane Fonda and Sam Waterston, "The Newsroom" premieres Sunday, June 24, on HBO Canada.

Will McAvoy (Daniels) was a successful, non-partisan newscaster for "News Night," a nightly broadcast that covered the political news developments to the day. He had a solid audience and was the frontman for the whole network, ACN, because of his popularity. His stories played it safe -- he never asked controversial questions or pushed the limits. He kept his personal opinions out of his interviews and he was "popular because he doesn't bug anybody."

C

That image will soon come to an end. During a panel discussion, McAvoy is asked by a college student about why he thinks America is the greatest country in the world. Something within him snaps, and he declares that it isn't the greatest. He then spews out facts and figures about the low income, lower education and high costs of the country -- and his entire rant is caught on camera.

Afraid he will lose his audience, and ultimately his job, McAvoy agrees to revamp the entire news show to become a serious, hardnews provider -- putting politicians on the spot, asking questions voters want to ask and, finally, providing his own commentary on some of the events. Unfortunately, not everyone is happy about the new ideas.

The new producer, Mackenzie MacHale (Emily Mortimer), is constantly trying to tighten the leash on what McAvoy is trying to do, and the two are frequently butting heads. A simple request to take his BlackBerry off the desk results in him throwing his cellphone at the camera.

Charlie Skinner (Waterston), as president of ACN, plays the referee between the floor and the offices, going to bat for McAvoy but also helping him stay grounded. When he pitched the new structure of the show to the bigwigs, he said: "The newsroom will become a courtroom because American voters need a lawyer."

Leona Lansing (Fonda) is the new

CEO of the company that runs ACN, and she is not pleased with the new format of the show. She wants McAvoy to revert to his humaninterest stories that made him so popular in the first place, and she keeps threatening to fire him if he keeps stretching the boundaries.

Series creator, writer and producer Aaron Sorkin put himself in several newsrooms to do front-line research for his scripts. He had already worked on two other series about TV shows -- "Sports Night" and "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" -- but for "The Newsroom," Sorkin sat behind the camera at Fox News and CNN, as well as "Hardball with Chris Matthews" and "Countdown With Keith Olbermann." In an interview with "TV Guide," Sorkin stated that he wanted to provide a real sense of what newspeople go through.

"It'll be aspirational. It'll be wish fulfilment. But they're going to lose as much as they're going to win. In other words, it's not going to be a fantasy," he said. "They're going to be trying to do well in a context where it's very difficult to do well when there are commercial concerns and political concerns and corporate concerns."

Sorkin's work on "The West Wing" got him multiple Emmy awards for his trophy case, and he says he aims to give news teams the same treatment he gave the White House in his previous series.

"I'm loving the idea of coming back to television and taking the same combination of idealism and romanticism and realism that made government sexy on "The West

Wing" and seeing if we can't do the same with the news and journalism, which are held in at least as much contempt," he said.

Daniels has a recognizable face, like most newscasters should, but let's hope some of his biggest roles don't take away from his credibility.

His roles in "Dumb & Dumber" (1994), "RV" (2006) and "My Favorite Martian" (1999) may paint him as a comedy actor, but he's had his share of dramatic roles as well.

He has appeared in "Terms of

Endearment" (1983), "Gettysburg" (1993), "State of Play," (2009) and "The Lookout" (2007). He's also won several stage awards for his roles in various plays, including "Fifth of July" and "Lemon Sky." Waterston is also a recognizable face, though his best roles have drawn in a different audience than those who saw "Dumb & Dumber."

As District Attorney Jack McCoy, he appeared in over 350 episodes of "Law & Order," as well as a handful of episodes of the spinoffs. He also starred in NBC series "I'll Fly Away" in the early '90s and "The Killing Fields" (1984.)

Stars and sparklers Hudson paired with Pops for Fourth of July concert Sheila Busteed TV Media STARS AND SPARKLERS: This year's Independence Day festivities will feature plenty of star power, lots of crackling fireworks and, of course, the Pops.

CBS is gearing up for this year's broadcast of the annual "Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular" by announcing it has landed renowned TV actor Michael Chiklis as the special's host. But the fireworks display will have to contend with the powerhouse pipes of Oscar- and Grammy-winning performer Jennifer Hudson, who will sing some of her most popular tunes with the Boston Pops Orchestra.

The special will broadcast live from the Charles River Esplanade in Boston on Wednesday, July 4. This year marks the 39th anniversary of the annual outdoor concert. The last 20 minutes of the special, which will feature the acclaimed fireworks display, will run without commercials.

Hudson will bring lots of popular appeal to the event. As living proof that contestants don't have to win the "American Idol" contest to become successful, the singer went on to win an Academy Award for her role as Effie in 2006's "Dreamgirls," which was also her film debut. Two years later, she won a Grammy for her self-titled debut album.

As an actor, Chiklis has been the man in charge through his leading roles in "The Shield" and "No Ordinary Family."

He'll be part of an all-star ensemble cast, which also includes Dennis Quaid and Carrie-Anne Moss, when the highly anticipated CBS series "Vegas" debuts this fall.

Keith Lockhart, who has been the Boston Pops conductor since 1995, will lead the orchestra through its performance. He has helmed more than 1,300 concerts with the group and has helped

usher in a new era for the orchestra. The new ventures have included the group's first Grammy nominations, an increase in international touring and its pre-game performance at Super Bowl XXXVI in 2002 -- the first time a symphony orchestra ever performed at the football event.

INNOCENCE LOST: Hundreds of thousands of people in the U.S. are currently in jail, and while trials and investigations usually point to the guilty party, sometimes, the wrong person is put behind bars.

Now, an actor known for his roles in crime dramas is lending his voice to a new series that tells the true stories of the people whose voices were ignored.

They were betrayed, neglected and often forgotten by the justice system and left to serve terms of imprisonment for no real reason at all.

Since the '90s, Chris Noth has built a strong reputation in Hollywood as a detective in two of the shows in the "Law & Order" franchise, and he is now playing a state's attorney who's had his own brushes with the law in "The Good Wife." Next, he will narrate the new one-hour series "I Didn't Do It," which will premiere on Investigation Discovery this fall.

"Chris Noth's distinctive voice will give even more substance to this compelling and emotional series," said executive producer Leanna Crouch. "We anticipate his involvement will help bring even greater attention to the important issue of wrongful convictions."

The inaugural run of "I Didn't Do It," which is currently in production, will air in six parts and will tell the personal stories of people who were convicted of crimes they didn't commit, thus illuminating a tragic flaw in today's justice system.

These stories will be told through reenactments and a series of interviews

Jennifer Hudson will perform with the Boston Pops Orchestra during the July 4th celebration with the accused, jurors, attorneys and investigators, all while those working for the system continue the hunt for the real criminals.

THESE GIRLS CAN SING: Two of Hollywood's hottest actresses will make their return to television after many years away when Fox's "Glee" starts its fourth season this fall.

One of them is best known for her versatility on the big screen, while the other is renowned for her role as a relationship columnist with a shoeshopping addiction.

Movie star Kate Hudson will take on only the third TV guest role of her career when she helps open the musical comedy's new season with a six-episode arc. Later on, Sarah Jessica Parker will return to television for the first time since "Sex and the City" ended, when she also guest stars on "Glee."

Hudson last appeared on a TV series in 1997 when she appeared in an episode of "EZ Streets," which was preceded by a guest role on "Party of Five" in 1996. It was in 2000 when her star power first got a major boost

Solution on page 2. through her role as Penny Lane in "Almost Famous," which won her a Golden Globe. Her popularity grew with "How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days" (2003) and she even found success when she stepped out of her element for "The Skeleton Key" (2005). In 2009, she showed off her prowess as a singer through her role in "Nine."

Parker will likely always be remembered as Carrie Bradshaw of HBO's "Sex and the City" and its two big-screen extensions -- a role that earned her several awards. Yet she's had incredible staying power in the business, with a career that dates back to the late '70s on Broadway, and she has juggled a mix of film and television projects ever since.

Fox has not yet released details about either star's character or the air dates of the special episodes.
