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.
