1:17:05
Natalie, did he say
what it was about?
1:17:07
No. Just that he wanted to talk
to you in his office.
1:17:25
Uh-oh!
1:17:29
The problem isn't simply
that you've lost your sponsor.
1:17:33
With Alcoa, "See It Now"
still loses money.
1:17:35
The fee is 50,000 dollars.
1:17:37
Last week's episode we did
for less than 50,000 dollars.
1:17:39
Fred, you're speakng
beyond your competence.
1:17:41
We'll certainly find another sponsor.
1:17:43
"64,000 Dollar Question" brings in
over 90,000 in sponsors...
1:17:47
...and it costs one-third
of what youdo.
1:17:49
Ed, I've got Tuesday night
programming that's number one.
1:17:52
People want to enjoy themselves.
They don't want a civics lesson.
1:17:56
- What do you want, Bill?
- I don't want to get a stomachache...
1:17:59
...every time you take on
a controversial subject.
1:18:03
I'm afraid that's the price
you have to be willing to pay.
1:18:07
Let's walk very carefully
through these next few moments.
1:18:10
The content of what we're doing
is more important...
1:18:12
...than what some guy in Cincinnati...
- It's what you'redoing, Ed. Not me.
1:18:16
Not Frank Stanton. You.
1:18:17
"CBS News", "See It Now"
all belong to you, Bill.
1:18:21
You wouldn't know it.
1:18:24
- What is it you want? Credit?
- I never censored a single program.
1:18:29
I hold on to affiliates
who wanted entertainment from us.
1:18:34
I fight to keep the license...
1:18:36
...with the very same politicians
that you are bringing down...
1:18:39
...and I never,
never said no to you. Never.
1:18:45
I would argue that we have done
very well by one another.
1:18:49
I would argue that this network...
1:18:52
...is defined by what the news
department has accomplished.
1:18:55
And I would also argue that never saying
no is not the same as not censoring.
1:18:59
Really? You should teach journalism.
You and Mr. Friendly.
