In the HBO drama series, "The Newsroom," Jane Fonda plays the recurring role of Leona Lansing, the self-important CEO of the TV news show, Atlantis Cable News (ACN).
Fonda views the fictional network’s influence as falling "somewhere
between Ted Turner (her ex-husband) and Rupert Murdoch." Playing against
type and her real-life liberal bias, Lansing is a staunch Republican
who feels the need to constantly remind her news team staff headed up by
Will McAvoy (played by Jeff Daniels) . . .
