Phil interviews Edward Curtin, discussing the movie "Network".
“ … in the film we see the introduction of what is now called ‘ Realty Television’ taken to its satirical end. Curtin shows us how writer Paddy Chayefsky captures the anger so many felt then, and how his main character, Howard Beale came to represent ‘ Everyman’ when pushed against the wall of this empire. Curtin, a professor of Sociology, has used this film for years as a bridge to understand the how much our media is all about ‘ Ratings’ and Pro Empire propaganda. “
