Aaron Sorkin cited scriptwriter Paddy Chayefsky when he accepted his Oscar for the screenplay of The Social Network, and wrote that “no predictor of the future — not even Orwell — has ever been as right as Chayefsky was when he wrote Network. ”Of course, now we have Redford's ridiculous film defending Dan Rather. And he we have Stephen Colbert referring to "the nighttime people that I’m sort of a parody of." You're not really a parody of them, Stephen. You're one of them.
It's also worth remembering that back in the supposedly dark days of the '50s, you could turn on Philco Television Playhouse and see the original version of Marty, written by Paddy Chayefsky
