Can't we get a movie out of this?

The pathetic behaviour of our rival low brow evening current affairs programs would surely make a good comedy movie. Sure, the genre was covered well on TV by "Frontline" in the 1990's, but this latest story of (alleged) dirty tactics makes me think there must be scope for a full length movie in this.

Some ideas:

* journalists from the opposing shows start a secret relationship; (probably been done well before, but I can't think where)

* the ex-spouses of opposing journalists start a relationship and sabotage their ex's shows;

* as a sub plot: youngish network head with interest in a fringe religion tries to get current affairs show to give the religion good PR.

Mind you, movie treatments of television shows often feel very unauthentic in the way they show a TV studio. It's a hard genre to do well. I've always liked "Broadcast News" though.
