After righteous ranting and chanting by Howard Beale( and much of the populace ),
"I'm mad as hell,and Im not gonna take it anymore!",the network execs were elated when ratngs went through the roof when Howard died on air.
That movie was from the 70s and prescient,I tell ya!
Anybody who hasn't seen it needs to asap.
