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.
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.
You should watch the movie “Network” from the 1970s sometime. It predicted the trash that is news programming these days.

I absolutely love Network and agree. Essential watching and predictions way before it’s time.

We’re living in a comedy.
