“Right now, there is a whole, an entire generation that never knew anything that didn’t come out of this tube. This tube is the gospel, the ultimate revelation; this tube can make or break presidents, popes, prime ministers; this tube is the most awesome g**d**n propaganda force in the whole godless world, and woe is us if it ever falls into the hands of the wrong people, and that’s why woe is us that Edward George Ruddy died.

And when the 12th largest company in the world controls the most awesome g**d**n propaganda force in the whole godless world, who knows what sh*t will be peddled for truth on this network?”
