The Press in Casablanca

I was watching “Casablanca” again last night. I love that movie, perhaps the best movie of all time. Outstanding actors and great script with some of the most memorable movie lines of all time.

It occurred to me that Captain Louis Renault (played by Claude Rains) is a virtual metaphor for the American news media: licentious, amoral, venal, and utterly corrupt.
