From Brian Williams‘s blog: “Watching a handwriting analyst examine the signature of Harriett Miers on MSNBC as I write this reminds me: I was told recently that a prominent figure in Hollywood screened a copy of the film Network for a group of students, and was amazed at the LACK of reaction from the group. It seems too much of Chayefsky’s once outlandish screenplay (and this is spoken, full disclosure, as a seven-year-veteran of cable) has slowly morphed into the realm of everyday stuff, from shouting anchors to Sybil The Soothsayer-like segments. Trust me: it was really satirical once.”
