Oh, my God.

And it's shame on all of these people who have billions of dollars and they are kowtowing with no integrity, no principles to the Trump administration.

I'm embarrassed for them.

But you had asked a question.

You were trying to reach back and try and figure out when the pendulum swung so wildly off course.

This is my take on what happened.

When William Paley sold CBS to Larry Tisch, and when Capital Cities and then ultimately Disney took over,

ABC, and then when General Electric took over NBC.

Prior to that, there was some social responsibility.

But when GE and Disney and Larry Tish took over, the bottom line became...

so important that we had, we in news divisions had to grovel for ratings so that the network story would be able to charge more from advertisers.

So the money we made was more important than the news we covered.

That's what happened.

And now it has reached a point of no return.

That's a great way to put it.

Oh, yes.

I'm so proud of Maury.

He created a newspaper more than a decade ago, probably 15 years, almost 20.

It was kind of a tribute to his father, who was a Washington Post columnist and reporter for 75 years, a great writer.

He really was a legend.
