The Newsroom 1.7: 5/1
An anonymous source contacts Charlie and provides advance details on an imminent story of national importance.

It was some offhand question Josh would ask someone else about Donna and then the story would move on. It was banter -- not ABOUT them -- about other things. It was about the work, and we'd infer their intentions and feelings. I miss that.
Can you imagine, in the first season, any character saying to Josh, "I think you like Donna." And then saying it the next week? And the week after that? And then Donna saying to her best friend, "I do not like Josh! Josh, please tell her I don't have feelings for you."
You may argue that these are different characters -- and if you do, I'd say that's a fair point. I guess then I have to conclude I just don't like spending time with them as much. :)

To me it's entirely different to Josh and Donna. Not even in the same universe. That was beautifully, subtlly done and this, well, it's like fic. But I am shallow enough to be totally ok with that :-) . I reallyI enjoy them.

This interplay leaves nothing to the imagination, and that's why we tire of it.
