The media left constantly compares their counterparts on the right to one of two characters: Howard Beale from "Network" (1976) or "Lonesome" Rhodes of "A Face in the Crowd"(1957). while the analogy is interesting there is some trace of irony in Olberman comparing anyone to Howard Beale. These two films saw America's obsession with realness at the expense of reality long before most, and in their satire actually became a reference for what they were satirizing.
"Network"(1976)
"A Face in the Crowd"(1957)
