Would have been really funny except for the dated & pervasive racism. Not that contemporary racism would have been better, just that I learned a lot of old slurs & found the experience unpleasant. The final 25% was a little more convoluted than necessary, too. The general plot and the observations on journalism are pretty good, though.
