Washington Sen. Mike Lee reached out to an HBO executive this week after an episode of the new hit show "The Newsroom" portrayed the Utah Republican as an extremist hellbent on tossing out a constitutional amendment.
The fictional show, created by award-winning screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, is about a crusading nightly TV newscast stepping away from "objective journalism" to call out public officials on their actions and half-truths.
In Sunday nights episode, anchor Will McAvoy (played by Jeff Daniels) goes after several well-known figures in the tea party, starting with Lee and his 2010 race against then-Sen. Bob Bennett.
"Bob Bennett, the most conservative member of the Senate, is going to lose his primary race to a guy named Mike Lee, because Lee found room to the right of Bennett," McAvoy says.

Mike Lee unintentionally gave Aaron Sorkin the kind of slam-bang advertising money can't buy.
