Guardian: Reports " Network at 40: the flawed satire that predicted Trump and cable 'news porn'...Prescient and powerful, the film foreshadowed the likes of Bill O’Reilly with its ‘mad as hell’ protagonists and the climate of American anger that birthed Trump "
Lets Get Real:
IF you are a real news junkie you have seen Network, if you have not seen Network then you are not a news junkie, it showed the future from 1970s, it misses out on the Internet but then nothing is perfect. It shows how ratings is the game, or today clicks on websites, how news would be sexed up, it should have a fast pace, and in your face as represented by the main character in the movie. Over this holiday period try to watch it again or buy the DVD. To the modern viewer it will shock you how close it is to reality, I would tell you end but that would be a spoiler even after so many decades, it does shock.
