Wag the Dog

Two weeks before the start of the new election, the current US president is in trouble. The news media lashed out at him for summoning a pimp at the White House who had sex with celebrities. None of the president's people behind the scenes care about whether this is true or not. Anyway, the approval rating will definitely drop. Now they are concerned about how to increase the approval rating.

    It doesn't matter what the truth is, it's just a game

    Super screenwriter, super producer, turning the president into a commercial marketing product: one of the reasons for living is for such excellent movies, the 1980s and 1990s were really the most brilliant eras in Hollywood - produce a war, make a hero, invent a history
