One remark and one question.
Remark:
If you saw the movie "Vice" about former US VP Mr Richard Cheney, removing any theatrical licence, it was Mr Cheney who advised US President Mr Nixon to drop the requirement that broadcasters discuss both sides of a story. Amongst the other presidential advisers was a younger Mr Roger Ailes. The author of this article postulates that if CNN was 'conservative' then "Fox News" may have taken a "non-conservative" view.
It follows that a broadcaster's particular narrative, whether 'conservative' or 'non-conservative' is constructed in order to fulfil the market for a particular kind of listener/viewer.
Then one has to question whether the presenters at a particular radio network have to take a particular narrative. A hint of this is in Mike Carlton's book "On Air" where Mike Carlton (at 2UE) refused the request by upper management to take a 'right-wing' approach to news. Here is a hypothetical question. Would 2GB employ 'non-conservative'/progressive articulate and intelligent commentators such as David Marr or Van Badham?
Question:
There has been a big promotion of the series "The Loudest Voice" on radio. But the issue is that in order to watch the series, one has to subscribe to an IP streaming service in order to view the series. I don't want to subscribe for movies or series that I am not interested.
I would like to know if there will be a dvd release of "The Loudest Voice". I'll be one of the first to buy.
Thank you,

As I said in July 2019, I would like to know of the DVD release of "The Loudest Voice".
The series is available on DVD from December 10-12. While you can order in Australia for AU$68 on ebay, I ordered it for US$33 = AU$52 including postage from a US site.
There are three DVDs in the package.
The caveats:
* The DVD is encoded for region 1 (US) playback. Your DVD player must be able to play region 1 discs such as a multi-region DVD player.
* If you are still using an analogue TV, your analogue TV must be able to display the US NTSC signal. Before the analogue switch-off, Australia was using the PAL system, but there may well be analogue TVs which can play PAL (Australia), NTSC(US) and even SECAM (France).
* Please pedants, don't enumerate variations of the PAL, NTSC and SECAM systems, it is irrelevant. This DVD package is in US NTSC.
Thank you,

Looking forward to viewing the series and playing it to my heart's content. The series "The Loudest Voice" will definitely complement the story in the movie "Vice" where Roger Ailes' career started as a political adviser.
