- And that's why woe is us that Edward George Ruddy died.
- Because this company is now in the hands of CCA, the Communication Corporation of America.
- There's a new chairman of the board. A man called Frank Hackett sitting in Mr. Ruddy's office on the 20th floor!
- And when the 12th largest company in the world controls the most awesome, goddamn propaganda force in the whole godless world, who knows what shit will be peddled for truth on this network.
- So you listen to me. Listen to me! Television is not the truth. Television's a goddamned amusement park.
- Television is a circus, a carnival, a traveling troupe of acrobats storytellers, dancers, singers, jugglers, sideshow freaks, lion-tamers and football players. We're in the boredom-killing business.
- So if you want the truth, go to God. Go to your gurus. Go to yourselves. Because that's the only place you're ever gonna find any real truth.
- But, man, you're never gonna get any truth from us. We'll tell you anything you want to hear. We lie like hell. We'll tell you that Kojak always gets the killer and that nobody ever gets cancer in Archie Bunker's house.
- And no matter how much trouble the hero is in, don't worry just look at your watch, at the end of the hour he's gonna win!
- We'll tell you any shit you want to hear. We deal in illusions, man. None of it is true. But you people sit there, day after day, night after night all ages, colors, creeds.
