'Network': When the corporations take over the airwaves

Not even Sybil the Soothsayer could have predicted how much Paddy Chayefsky and Sidney Lumet's 1976 film "Network" would mirror today's world of infotainment and the corporatization of media.  "Network" is a film that continues rewarding repeat viewing, as it offers up new ways to examine the U.S. population's fascination with realty television, and how the lines obscure between truth, fiction, and the vox populi.  If you've never before seen "Network" there may never be a better time to watch this masterful look at the power of television and those behind-the-scenes willing to go to any length to corrupt it for the sake of ratings and stockholders.
