It's gotten quite a bit of mileage since then. A variant of the line was used in the movie "Citizen Kane" (which was based on Hearst's life). More recently, it was used in the James Bond movie "Tomorrow Never Dies" by mad media mogul Elliot Carver (sort of an exaggerated Rupert Mudoch/Ted Turner type) who wants to start a war to boost his TV network ratings, and whose gleeful motto is "There's no news like BAD news!"[/colorost_uid0]
