7. I remember thinking it was great satire when I first watched it in the early 90's
But I never thought the actual right wingers could be that much over the top. Now they have caught up, maybe even gone past the Roberts character. Kind of like the movie "Network" in that respect (Though Network wasn't presented as satire). Nobody in 1976 ever really thought the media would get that corporatized.

God help us if Mike Judge's "Idiocracy" becomes the reality, as those two movies have. :scared:
