The first host to be murdered by terrorists due to low ratings

Abelardo 2022-03-20 09:01:34

Television changed everything.

Murder, war, things that should be sad, are now just a bunch of numbers that make people feel sluggish and lose their enthusiasm for life.

You say that what you see is just a moving picture, fooling the public.

Television is never impartial, the god behind it controls everything and spreads the ideas it wants to convey.

Even terrorists have been transformed by television into mercenary businessmen, who split the profits at gunpoint.

And TV did what a terrorist would do.

Only interests, no truth or falsehood

    Sidney Lumet should be the director with the most discerning actors. Although this kind of drama is roaring, but the lines are turned off and the voice is turned off. Everyone's ambition, greed and desire are on their faces. Different from Li Mou frowning and roaring, all the roles played by Li Mou have no lines and do not know what he is doing. This is the gap between actors and actors. Compared with the one-man show "Joker", it actually tells the same story, but the interpretation is different now. Hua Jinfeng is also skillful in his blank acting skills and roaring shouts. This film is now estimated to be the level of winning all the awards. Unlike this year's Oscars, whoever takes the best actor and actress laurels feels a bit too strong. Unfortunately, in the next two years, there will be a large number of biographical films that challenge the one-man show for the sake of the Olympics?

Network quotes

  • Narrator: The initial response to the new Howard Beale show was not auspicatory. The press was, without exception, hostile and industry reaction, negative. The ratings for the Thursday and Friday shows were both 14, but Monday's rating dropped a point, clearly suggesting the novelty was wearing off.

  • Narrator: By mid-October, "The Howard Beale Show" had settled in at a 42 share, more than equaling all the other network news shows combined. In the Nielsen ratings, "The Howard Beale Show" was listed as the fourth highest rated show of the month, surpassed only by "The Six Million Dollar Man", "All in the Family" and "Phyllis" - a phenomenal state of affairs for a news show - and on October the 15th, Diana Christensen flew to Los Angeles for what the trade calls powwows and confabs with our west coast programming execs and to get production rolling on the shows for the coming season.
