I wouldn't have chosen "The Machine Stops". The movie "Network", (1976) is rather close to "Fox and Friends".[1] "The Space Merchants" (C. M. Kornbluth, 1952) is more about the advertising business but has aspects of that.

The BBC did a TV adaptation of this story in 1966 as part of its Out of the Unknown series.
