But for that narrow period of time during the day when I am actually on live television and need that information, there are dozens of
people behind the scenes whose job is and always has been to take breaking news — whether from newswires or Facebook Live — and make sure it gets transmitted to our viewers.
And while there's a nicely tentative quality to the
scenes between Bob and Erik (
whose wounded ambition is perfect for the handsomely bland Hartnett), the movie hits another level when it's
behind the closed boardrooms of editors and publishers, and where characters like Alan Alda's managing editor can be observed manipulating
people like a man calmly poking snakes in a box.
