one of those critics is aaron sorkin. if you don't know who sorkin is. have probably seen some of his movies. the screenwriter behind the 2010 smash "the social network" about facebook. he penned open letter to mark zuckerberg in "the new york times." he attacks facebook use of political ads in the op-ed. you and i, zuckerberg, want speech protections to make sure no one gets imprisoned or killed for writing something unpopular, not to insure lies have unfettered access to the american electorate. mark zuckerberg is fighting back defending his stance. zuckerberg didn't do so using his own words in a facebook post. instead he used sorkin's words from the 1995 film sorkin wrote, "the american president." here is the monologue from michael douglas. >> you want free speech. the man standing at center staged a advocating the top of his lungs that you would spend a lifetime opposing at the top of yours. reporter: facebook standing by the decision to allow political ads. twitter this week announced it would ban all political ads. one company that has flown unde

other show i'd worked on was the richness of character and words and thoughts and images that aaron sorkinople to think that i'm as quick and clever as the characters that i write. but you would be disappointed if you met me. >> josh? >> yeah. >> six pages on english as the national language. >> meetings don't just take place sitting down and talking to people. >> and as for a damn social studies paper -- >> donna. >> look at the memo. i gave you what you asked for. don't snap at me. >> we knew that was the essence of the show, this movement. >> what's wrong with everyone today? >> the challenge of doing that is, number one, lighting. if you look at that set on "the west wing," there's a lot of glass. glass is reflective. there were a lot of technical challenges that existed. but the biggest challenge by far was the performance challenge. >> 802. five votes jumped the fence. >> because beginning, middle, and end of the scenes sometimes in one take, and it was liberating and also intimidating. >> what the hell happened? >> we don't know. >> we're finding out. >> i love "the west wing" becau

facebook ceo mark zuckerberg firing back at aaron sorkin after a screenwriter wrote an open letter toicizing facebook's policy on open ads. in the letter, sorkin road i admire your deep belief in free speech but this can't possibly be the outcome that you and i want to have things pumped into the water supply that corrupt the most important decisions we make together. in response, mark zuckerberg pulled a quote from the 1995 screenplay for the movie american president. you want free speech? lets you acknowledge of a whose words make your blood boil. that which he would spend a lifetime opposing at the top of yours. i think michael douglas read it better than i could. anyway, ahead. actress lori laughlin responding to the latest child comic charges against her in the college admission scandal. plus, did a man to murder his girlfriend? amazon alexa could be the star witness. employees need more than just a paycheck. you definitely want to take advantage of all the benefits you can get. 2/3 of employees said that the workplace is an important source for personal savings and protection so
