These shows are dinosaurs. All we get is news all day from everywhere. We have no need to tune in to a show like this to get more.
Yes, yes, yes! this is where we are at and trouble lies ahead. DJTs reelection will bring fighting in the street. We're at an incredible moment in history and I'm so very happy to be here!
... responsibility to the shareholders for the news divisions to be profitable...

As I understand it, news is a loss leader. It is not only not expected to make a profit, it is considered a *public service*. Profit comes from the entertainment segments. Probably why there are so many so-called *reality shows*. They are immensely popular due to voyeurism and very cheap to produce.
I suspect the important shareholders are aligned with the progressive left and totally on board with the ‘get Trump’ agenda.
Yep...This movie and Atlas Shrugged should be required for HS graduation..
If the shareholders didn't like the content being dispensed they'd be making their voices heard at the quarterly meetings. They've bought in.
The first movie was good, the second marginally acceptable, the third below acceptable.
If its ever redone. The screen writer must drop the railroad theme. They’re “buffalo paths” to millennials. In short they have a vaguer idea what a train is, what it does but have rarely seen one. When they do they don’t pay any attention. Also they can’t imagine why they might be important to economic life. Its should have been done with the Taggarts as transportation moguls trucking, planes, commercial shipping (boats) with railroads barely mentioned. The Reardon Steel issues worked into supporting those. The story would not have to change that much for it to work in seamlessly. You wouldn’t have had to lead off with the “contrived” explanation as to why all of a sudden trains are a big worry. My daughter’s pals were immediately turned off by “trains” part of the story, so the rest of the movie had no impact on them because of that.
Dan Rather is thinking he has a shot at coming back and being the news anchor and maybe scoring with the women at cbs....
