Ready to yell yet?
A year ago (April 2, 2008) I posted a short clip from a favorite movie scene. It may have been too early for many people. Now, things have “progressed” further and maybe a longer clip suits the situation better.
Also others think: “It’s time to get all Howard Beale folks!“
Network deserves watching. However, be forewarned; the movie doesn’t continue completely like Mr. Beale’s “rise up” speech. If you haven’t seen it, watch some of the related clips on YouTube, especially this one, to get a sampling. Yelling alone won’t solve anything, but it might make a start.

Finch deserved the Oscar just for this scene, but it’s a pretty remarkable performance all the way around. And a more realistic depiction of network TV as the years go on!

We watched that recently; and though it didn’t progress as I’d expected from the clips I’d seen, it was still worth the time. Another one I’ve been recommending is They Live.
Warm squeezes to you and yours!
