    It wasn’t meant to be a prediction though. It was meant to be incredibly broad satire. I mean the last line of the movie is- “This was the story of Howard Beale: The first known instance of a man who was killed because he had lousy ratings.”

    And honestly, if Fox could have just taken Tucker out with a .22 to the back of the head, they would have totally done that.

    We’re living in a comedy.

      Yeah it’s the same as 1984 and so many others, it’s about the human condition and natural propensites.

      The truth is things haven’t really got much worse, I happen to enjoy Victorian newspapers and it’s all the same nonsence and lies. People will always find a new way to lie and a new excuse to pretend to believe.
