The Network

I just watched this movie called Network, made in 1974. It talks about the inner workings of the business behind television and the prevasion of the news as entertainment. The two monologues in the video below are one of the most interesting things I've seen in a long time and I wanted to share it on here because it speaks specifically to what we're going to be studying. I strongly urge everyone on here to go rent the movie.

"The world is a business Mr. Beale."
