I want to recommend “his girl Friday” here, as there is some news related manipulation of the public / politics in play, (back in 1940) but really it’s a second or third act to the real star (the “punched up” dialogue).

Or the earlier "The Front Page" (1931) which is what "His Girl Friday" was a remake of (except by making one of the reporters a woman and the ex of the editor).

  Or the subsequent Switching Channels (1988), which is a remake of The Front Page/His Girl Friday!
