    It's not ethically gray; it's just plain wrong. CNN doesn't exist in Metropolis or Gotham. :glasses:

    I was watching batman v superman last night, and the news people were watching in the movie were actual CNN correspondents, like Anderson Cooper, Brooke Baldwin, etc. Does no one else think this blurs the lines between respected truths and entertainment? Should real journalists be playing themselves in a fictional medium?
    It doesn't both me. Movies are allowed to reflect the real world.
    of course, but the movie studio would have PAID those journalists, and they would have PAID CNN for the use of their logo. You don't find that a little ethically grey?
    Nope. What are you thinking is ethically grey about it? Like, you think the fact they do that would keep CNN from reporting certain things about that studio or something? I seriously doubt that, even in the slim chance that it would even come up. I think what you're saying would apply to politicians, not news anchors or outlets. They're a business, so this seems fine to me personally. Doesn't concern me.
    I don't know, to be honest. Just kind of struck me. it's never even been on my radar prior to last night. possibly because that was in pre-"fake news" nonsense era. possibly because most movies use made up news outlet names (or local ones that no one outside of that locality would know).

    There's Galaxy Broadcasting System (GBS) in Metropolis, Gotham News Network (GNN) and Gotham City News (GCN) in Gotham.

    Why would you think that topic is satire, even sarcastically?
    I don’t.  I was being sarcastic.  In the world we live I am shocked that this is a story, much less a real thing.  
    Funny yesterday the kids decide to walk out and guess what Fox doesn’t even mention it , hoe come you didn’t post that which is news worthy...
    YEs they did, I saw it last night on tv.

    I m Not a Fox News fan at all but 30 minutes on a story seems pretty damn adequate to me.
