I think it's properly rated? It's still a good show but when compared to Sorkin rolodex, it's not one of his best.
To me, I just didn't like he used real events. I liked the parallel universe setting of West wing. Newsroom felt like he was using the benefit hindsight to criticize how things should have gone. Which falls hollow because no shit, you see how things unfold so you can tell a better story
