Line 6:
== This episode contains examples of: ==
* [[A Fate Worse Than Death]]: Sheridan would rather face the Vorlons and Shadows than reporters.
* [[Blatant Lies]] \ [[Malicious Slander]]: Practically everything Randall says on the air.
* [[Call Back]]: Randall calls attention to the [[Babylon 5/Recap/S02
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: A Hollywood-type producer being accused of using his medium to promote seditious and anti-Earth propaganda.
** Because [[Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped]], all the surnames listed in this sequence are those of people ruined by [[Red Scare|HUAC]].
* [[False Confession]]: The above mentioned producer. He's clearly being forced to make an admission and he looks like he been treated harshly, thin, ragged, with a dark look in his expression.
* [[Fascists' Bed Time]]: The ISN broadcast mentions that curfews are in effect all over the Earth Alliance.
* [[Idiot Ball]]: For people who have been warned that there will be a propaganda offensive against them, and who have been watching the Clark-controlled ISN for nearly a year now, the command staff and Sheridan in particular seem remarkably lacking in [[Genre Savvy|media savvy]].
* [[Longing Look]]: During their joint interview, Sheridan spends most of the time he's not talking gazing at Delenn with the dopiest, most besotted expression ever seen on a sentient being's face.
Line 18:
** [[Culture Police]]: ISN would take this role.
* [[Propaganda Machine]]: This is what ISN has become.
* [[Red Button Interactive]]: Several times a red button appears which would allow ISN viewers to download the program. Could be a case of [[Technology Marches On]] as the series was produced before there was DVR.
* [[Show Within a Show]]
* [[Thrown Out the Airlock]]: Ivanova threatens a reporter with this. Sheridan scolds her quite thoroughly for not being specific - "...sorry, she meant to say, '''Stripped naked'' and thrown out an airlock. I apologize for any confusion this may have caused.'"
