Yeah, it is. They used to play these old black-and-white newsreel clips on A&E, I think for teachers to record and use or something, and they were on really early in the morning. Sometimes I would watch them as I was getting ready for work, and I was always amazed at how much the political arguments sounded like the arguments of today. They'd be playing audio from FDR or Harry Truman--or one of their political rivals,--and it would sound exactly like the arguments on CNN or Fox News. Only without all the shouting. =]
