This is a media-culture vignette inspired by the film Broadcast News.
Cheers,

The world of commerce was arrayed like a blank chess board, and the key players included America, the European Union, China (and Hong Kong!), and South Korea (and North Korea!). U.S. President Donald Trump, a capitalism-baron who decided to become a politician, called the array a giant 'play.' This was no game, however, since, the casualties of 'war' could surface from a competitive nuclear-war scenario (e.g., North Korea).
Community values were very important. The Republican Party was in control in Washington, D.C. (USA), and culture-clans and ethnic-groups across America were expressing their idealism regarding shared values in a modern commercial world (i.e., Facebook, Wall Street, etc.). Hollywood was making many Shakespearean films such as Hamlet and The Merchant of Venice, and the 'hot-word' seemed to be (at least) 'fashion.' When Woody Allen released his fame-sardonic film Celebrity (starring Leo DiCaprio and Kenneth Branagh), people started gossiping about the great 'theater of dolls.'
The world of media was generating much free-speech intrigue and graphic imagery content, and video games marketed to youth (particularly Mortal Kombat) reflected a new age interest in explicit language, physicality, and eccentricity. The Mortal Kombat warrior-avatar 'Reptile' was an agile and venomous combat-skilled assassin who signified a modern fascination with mobility and relentless ambition. Society critics writing for The New Yorker suggested that new media imagery represented a global interest in free-speech propaganda.
Amidst all this flurry of pedestrianism-oriented 'drama,' comic books became the new art form, and fantastic characters arrayed in vigilantism-oriented poses such as Captain America (Marvel Comics), Green Lantern (DC Comics), Wonder Woman (DC Comics), and Spider-Woman (Marvel Comics) signified a real focus on humanism flexibility. CNN journalist Christiane Ananpour commented on Twitter that 'TrumpUSA' would be obligated to embody this new age 'zoo aesthetic.' Steven Spielberg began work on a film (starring Tom Hanks) about the value of journalism in modern times.
