A clip from the 1976 'Network' slightly edited (the movie's plot is largely irrelevant)

Actor is Australian Peter Finch who won an Oscar for this very role posthumously. He died while promoting it's release.

I don't agree al all that the movie plot is irrelevant . Everything in this film is very relevant 35 years later!!! Certainly a very powerful film and a Sidney Lumet's masterpiece !!!

and this was made back in the day. seems it could have been from today..think further than the what the media tells u.

This video was taken from a movie. So i guess the message is "only believe whats in the movies". Few things are black or white and the truth is always in the message. The challenge is to interpret correctly.

just tell them what you whant them to know. keep

them under pressure by giving them wrong ideals(bread and games), so that they don´t come and ask you a question that might force you to lie in order to maintain your position.

oh please let me tell you some lies^^

co2 has a great impact on our temperature (you sure know where to spend your taxes on) , an old lie: the jfk story, the third world benefits of the collection of second hand clothing, free marked economy --> WEALTH FOR ALL, the tv-news are an objective source of information,...i could go on for a while, but the main point is that they don´t have to give you wrong informations or lies, all they need are the right informations.

If I had a nickel for every lie the discovery channel or the history channel or fox news channel has told me, television would be the last thing on my mind. God help us, it has fallen into the wrong hands!
