This Is An “Excerpt” From The Movie — “Network” (1976) — The Angry News Broadcaster — Howard Beale — It’s Apropos For What Our Country Is Facing TODAY — With Donald Trump.

.

And woe is us, we’re in a lot of trouble!

.

So, a rich little man with white hair died –

.

What does that have to do with the price of rice, right?

.

And why is that woe to us?

.

Because, you people –

.

And 62-million other Americans are listening to me, right now –

.

Because less than 3% of you people read books –

.

Because less than 15% of you read newspapers –

.

Because the only truth you know is what you get with this tube –

.

Right now there –

.

There is a whole, entire generation –

.

That never knew anything that didn’t come out of this tube! –

.

This tube is the gospel, the ultimate revelation –

.

This tube cane make or break –

.

Presidents, popes, prime ministers –

.

This tube is the most awesome goddamned force –

.

In the whole godless world –

.

And woe is us if it ever falls into the hands of the wrong people –

.

That’s why, woe is us when George Ruddy died –

.

Because this company is now in the hands of –

.

CCA – the Communication Corporation of America –

.

There’s a new chairman of the board –

.

A man called Frank Hacket –

.

Sitting in Mr. Ruddy’s office on the 20th floor –

.

And when the 12th largest company in the world –

.

Controls the most awesome, goddamned propaganda force –

.

In the whole godless world –

.

Who knows what shit will be peddled for truth on this network –

.

So, you listen to me –

.

Listen to me –

.

Television is not the truth –

.

Television is a goddamned amusement park –

.

Television is a circus, a carnival –

.

A traveling troupe of acrobats –

.

Story tellers, dancers, singers, jugglers –

.

Side show freaks, lion tamers & football players –

.

We’re in the boredom-killing business –

.

So, if you want the truth –

.

Go to God –

.

Go to your gurus –

.

Go to yourselves –

.

Because that’s the only place where –

.

You’re ever going to find any real truth –

.

But, man, you’re never going to get any truth from us –

.

We’ll tell you anything you want to hear –

.

We’ll lie like hell –

.

We’ll tell you that Kojak always gets the killer –

.

And that nobody ever gets cancer in Archie Bunker’s house –

.

And that no matter how much trouble the hero is in –

.

Don worry, just look at your watch –

.

At the end of the hour – the hero is going to win –

.

We’ll tell you any shit you want to hear –

.

We do illusions, man –

.

None of it is true –

.

But you people –

.

Sit there – day after day –

.

Night after night –

.

All ages, colors, creeds –

.

We’re all you know –

.

You’re beginning to believe the illussions we’re spinning –

.

You’re beginning to think the tube is reality –

.

And that your own lives are unreal –

.

You do whatever the tube tells you –

.

You dress like the tube –

.

You ate like the tube –

.

You raise your children like the tube –

.

You even think like the tube –

.

This is mass madness –

.

You maniacs –

.

In God’s name, you people are –

.

The real thing –

.

We are the illusion –

.

So, turn off your television sets –

.

Turn them off now –

.

Turn them off right now –

.

Turn them off and leave them off –

.

Turn them off right in the middle of the sentence –

.

I am speaking to you now –

.

Turn them off!

.
