One of the classic Beale rants from Sidney Lumet's prophetic Network. More true today than thirty years ago...

3. It is scary how true this is today

I was in a hospital waiting room yesterday listening to some racist old women berating one of their men for voting for "that black man Obama." They proceeded to talk about the fact that he is a muslim who will not say the pledge of allegiance. This is why our country has become a fascist state. People will not look beyond the sound bites and the media will play that shit over and over "in the interests of journalism!"

4. The prevailing disinformed public opinions speak to the efficacy of thought control
