Delicious documentary! Gore Vidal is a name I remember having heard mentioned in my household during my childhood, although I am not as good as to remember in regards to what, though. Most likely, as a writer since both my parents used to read a lot.
When I watch the news nowadays and listen to all the stupidity and the tiresome stating-of-the-obvious in the images or videos in the background, the interviewing of those without a clue about what might just have happened, and the lack of deepness in commentators and anchors, especially when discussing politics, domestic and foreign, I miss what I recall as the old school of televised debate and the savvy politicians who would annihilate you with pure and simple reasoning or by wittingly calling a bluff on your masquerade.
Is it me or the media is treating us all as idiots?
