Original Note:
"The Newsroom" scene misrepresented US infant mortality. In reality, the US ranked 178th from last, placing it among the top countries. This error stemmed from Aaron Sorkin inverting the data, leading to a widespread misconception about America's healthcare performance. https://www.ncmd.info/publications/child-death-review-data-release-2024/ https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/field/infant-mortality-rate/country-comparison/
