The Newsroom (TV Series)

Dinner at Eight (1996)

Amanda Tapping: Lindsay Ward

Quotes 

• Lindsay Ward : News is presenting a story in such a way that a housewife, in her kitchen peeling potatoes for dinner will suddenly stop and listen and think, 'Oh my God! 300 people were burned alive in that Bangkok fire. Thank God I wasn't one of them!'

• Lindsay Ward : You know, Toronto is a world-class city. Driving in from the airport on the... 401? The 401... we had passed an overturned tanker truck that crushed a car. Evidently, three people were killed. I was just passing as a civilian, not in a news capacity at all, there were three dead!

  [With a laugh] 

  Lindsay Ward : That's a major market!
