The best satire is heavily based upon the truth it is making fun of. This was definitely a good production.

Well, except for this admission about Vietnam:
Solis drew a parallel with how the medias handling of the rising body-counts undermined the countrys willingness to fight to win in Vietnam. Even though enemy casualties were ten times as high, the way that Walter Cronkite was telling it, it looked like we were losing, Solis remembered. That losing impression became a losing reality by sapping the publics confidence.
