9PM CNN " The Reagan Show" tonight. See the acting and the stagecraft.

"SNIP.......

The Reagan Show is an all-archival film documenting President Reagan's eight years in the White House. Archival news footage from the era augments this fly-on-the-wall perspective on the dramatic history and pageantry of the Reagan years.

......SNIP"

the harbinger of "news as entertainment". We laughed at the time but who is laughing now? Real vs. fake?
