When I first saw this movie, I was not a fan. It seemed like a retelling of the first story complete with the same jokes from the first movie. But in the time between its original release and the natural course of 24 hour news in general, reality has changed my perception of this film and has turned it from a poor sequel to a great film into a piece of biting satire.
Ron literally sums up the entire cable news apparatus when he says "why don't we tell people what they want to hear instead of what they need to hear?" CNN has made an entire business model out of this. Considering how poorly they convey actual stories and merely make stuff up to appease their cult-like audience (as small as it is).
This movie ranks along side "PCU" in the "filmed that were ahead of their time."
