** Tom's is the most obvious, as he stages a reaction shot for his interview on date rape, showing that for all his pretense of wanting to get better, he's still willing to sensationalize the news for his own benefit.
** Jane argues for the integrity of the news and being honest with the subject, even objecting at one point to getting a solider to put on his shoes because she feels it would feel staged, and feels that the importance on news anchors is a detriment to their profession. However, she has no issue with sensationalizing news pieces for a better impact (Such as using an image of a Norman Rockwell painting to contrast with a soldier returning home) and fawns over the attention that news anchor Bill Rorish gives to her piece. The key example of her hypocrisy is that while she criticizes Tom for just being shallow and vapid, she's never more alive than when she is barking orders into his ear during the broadcast about the Libyan fighter pilot, and he is merely repeating what she said to him.
** Aaron laments over how people like Tom are ruining the news, even declaring him the devil at one point. However, it's made painfully obvious he is jealous of the attention Tom is getting over himself, as he feels that he is "owed" what Tom is given. And despite his dislike of Tom's skills, he still goes to him when he needs help in preparing for the weekend anchor job. Even after Aaron's disastrous performance as the weekend anchor, he's still critical of Tom despite it being shown that what Tom does isn't as easy as it looks.

Watching this character knot unravel is exciting due to both strong performances by the lead actors and an excellent screenplay by Brooks. He frequently shifts from comedy to drama but his dialogue always shimmers: it's hard not to laugh at Jane and Tom's good-natured flirting on the one hand, while when Aaron presses Tom on his ignorance of basic world affairs the discomfort hangs like a dagger in the air. ''Broadcast News'' kept low profile but was universally praised by critics, getting four stars from Creator/RogerEbert and fifth place in Creator/GeneSiskel's favorite films of 1987.
