Reagan’s diary entry shows how familiar he was with the film and TV industry. He knows what a $7M production looks like, and he’s paying close attention to the TV network’s ad sales.
Another example of how important it is to choose the right medium for the audience. The same story conveyed as a novel wouldn’t have captured his immediate professional interest like the TV movie did.

I'm not from the US and born in the mid 80s, so I don't know a lot about Reagan, except that he was some sort of "proto Trump", dreaming of "Star Wars" with SDI. He may still have been a bad president, but seeing this professional interest and the conclusions reached he made him relatable for me.
