Superficially viewed, this is a silly (but amusing) comedy. The story is not realistic: a wealthy man buys his spoiled son a journalist as a toy.
However, what is the movie really saying? That a powerful man can buy a journalist for his own purposes. This is exactly what is happening in my country nowadays (and has been happening in many other places and in many other periods). People on the verge of existence abandon their principles and trade their jobs for serving a crooked government. They are aware that what they are doing is unethical and embarrassing, but they feel they have no choice.
Let me mention a particular scene: a colleague comes to beg the journalist to stop doing it, and starts demonstrations in front of the bosses house. Instead of obeying him, the journalist starts playing Indians with the kid. So everybody stops paying attention to the demonstrations. This may seem random and senseless, but reminds me of so many diversions a government creates to take the public attention from really important things that happen.
So, maybe I am overanalyzing this movie and all this was not the writes intention?... Take a look for yourself and decide.
