The Blind CBS Eye
CBS reporter: It's almost lying. We can't do that on a
news show, it's about reality.
Leslie Moonves: You don't understand. News is a movie.
News is bigger than reality, and we are its golden artists.

CBS reporter: Oh, well, you're the boss.
Leslie Moonves: Follow the script, you clown! We're losing the
drama!
CBS reporter: Um, sorry. I mean, uh, I must protest this dubious
ethical decision in the strongest terms.
give me a clue so sweet and true
