I wouldn't say this is an excellent movie, but it is certainly very good. For fans of presidential races it is worth watching, if nothing else to show how the media can frame debates and influence public perception. The jockeying for position among the different anchors as for their roles on the debate panel, the hidden agendas they seem to have, and ultimately the quest for ratings gold all make this a very feasible story. Some of the details are a bit exaggerated, but the underlying theme is feasible. It also raises some concerns with the rise of 24/7 cable "news" networks that claim to be unbiased but harbor their own political agendas. It makes one wonder if there can ever be such a thing as impartial reporting on a presidential debate.
