Edward R. Murrow weeps………

At the state of American television news these days.

In the movie Network-made in 1976-where Peter Finch plays a newsman who goes mad. In this fascinating vivisection of the American news media, British commentator Charlie  Booker has it pretty much right, what was absurdly funny in the movie has now become the norm. The video is a little long, but worth watching-especially his descriptions of Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck at the end:

Black Boxes and sparkling wires indeed. I especially like how Booker points out that while Fox decries the idea of a media bias at every opportunity-the real truth is that they are the personification of it.
