Michael Moore and Stephen Colbert discuss the current state of television news:

Colbert: I am proudly owned by my sponsors. I will never say one thing against the Pasta Proâ„¢ pasta strainer.

Moore: Right. And that’s why you’ll have a long and successful career.

Colbert: Good.

Moore: And so, your point is … ?

Colbert: That I have a healthy relationship with my sponsors. And that’s how TV works.

Moore: In other words, it’s not really about telling the truth.

Colbert: No, we are selling things

Probably only partially true, but well spoken nonetheless.
