Yep! We were on the evening news a few times but it was seldom "right". They took video or did interviews but the things i saw on the news is not what was happening that *I* saw.
Yes, I'm aware of that phenomenon - I don't trust the news as far as I can throw One CNN Center! I was in the middle of a revolution once, and watched the US coverage - it was, um, not accurate.
When my Mom was in college, Life magazine came to her college to do a story on small midwest colleges, and had the kids act out everything that the NY Journalists THOUGHT that kids in those small colleges did for fun - in order to photograph it. And the kids never did the same things before or after. Mom NEVER touched a Life magazine for the rest of her life (pardon the pun)
But, Movies - given the artistic license of fiction - are usually even MORE inaccurate than news. Usually.
