Link: Steve On Broadway (SOB): Did Critics Enjoy Sorkin’s Invention?.
Frankly, as much as I enjoyed the first act, I felt very cheated by the second, which clearly should have been labeled "The Sorkin Invention." Newsday’s Linda Winer is right to point out that there are plenty of people questioning Sorkin’s conceit in adding a contrived confrontation between Farnsworth and Sarnoff when it admittedly never happened. She’s also right to question where all the outrage was when Frost/Nixon used a similarly fictitious 11 o’clock device to propel its story (she clearly wasn’t reading my review in which I said, "[S]uch flagrant abuse of the facts borders on an abrogation of artistic license.").
