You've been right at the center of this fraud thing from the beginning, and you've enabled it.

And, sir, you should resign.

Are people at home, how should they feel even remotely confident that if this merger happens, the combined entity would not simply be a propaganda outlet pushing one particular political view with much greater market power than you have now?

You have a wide range of programming on HBO.

Name one program that is designed to appeal to conservatives.

I can think of a lot that are designed to go to liberals.

Name one.

They're designed to appeal to... Really, John Oliver's not designed to appeal to a certain group?

It's a program that... You just said none of your program is... Let me ask you, do you think CNN is fair and balanced?

I do believe CNN is a fair... So when CNN showed riots and fires behind them and you put a chyron, mostly peaceful but fiery protest, was that journalism?

They have no independence other than hating Donald Trump, which is why their viewership numbers have plummeted because they don't actually report news.

They instead engage in very biased propaganda.

And I will say the truest words you said a minute ago is when you said with respect to Mr. Sarandos, well, he and I see the world in very much the same way.

That is exactly the problem, that in the world of journalism, it should not be propaganda.

In the world of entertainment, there is a reason why.

Why entertainers who are even slightly right of center get blackballed in Hollywood.

Writers get blackballed in Hollywood.

Actors get blackballed in Hollywood.

This has nothing to do with trying to get accountability for what's recently happened with discrete incidents in Minnesota.

This is about trying to hamstring the entire agency.
