Starting at the top of page 148 Granger starts stepping Montag through what's happening on the television. The media cannot tolerate with a simple "we lost him" story. They, along with the law enforcement, will make up a story to satisfy the public. Keeping tabs on this "Montag" for years has finally benefited them by delivering a great news program. The innocent and probably lonely guy was just taking a morning walk for goodness sakes. Obviously that doesn't affect how the media handles this because they're pretty involved in getting the correct camera shot for their viewers. Why is the hound even going for this guy anyway? He has to "know" that this isn't Montag.
It's also really funny to me when I picture how people look as they watch this. To us, seeing this, would be a movie from Hollywood. To these people this is real life drama and suspense that is actually KILLING people. Also, the fact that after the announcer..well announces that the search is over and Montag is dead they go directly into "We now take you to the Sky Room of the Hotel Lux for a half hour of Just-Before-Dawn, a program of--." This supposedly is key for everything's all fine and dandy now so you can go back to your happy life. Do these people really take a sigh of relief from that? I just thought that this form of entertainment was extremely disgusting and wanted to share.
