:35:02
The content of what we're doing
is more important...
:35:04
...than what some guy in Cincinnati...
- What you're doing, not me.
:35:07
Not Frank Stanton. You.
:35:09
CBS News, See It Now,
all belong to you, Bill.
:35:13
You wouldn't know it.
:35:16
What is it you want? Credit?
:35:18
I never censored a single program.
:35:22
I hold on to affiliates who wanted
entertainment from us.
:35:27
I fight to keep the license...
:35:29
...with the very same politicians
that you were bringing down...
:35:32
...and I never...
:35:35
...never said no to you. Never.
:35:38
I would argue that we have done
very well by one another.
:35:43
I would argue that this network...
:35:46
...is defined by what the news department
has accomplished.
:35:49
And I would also argue that never saying no
is not the same as not censoring.
:35:53
Really? You should teach journalism.
:35:55
You and Mr. Friendly.
:36:03
Let me ask you this.
:36:06
Why didn't you correct McCan'thy...
:36:08
...when he said that
Alger Hiss was convicted of treason?
:36:11
He was only convicted of perjury.
:36:13
You corrected everything else.
:36:15
Did you not want the appearance
of defending a known Communist?
:36:18
I would argue that everyone censors,
including you.
:36:25
What do you want to do, Bill?
:36:31
I'm taking your program
from a half an hour to an hour.
:36:34
And it won't be a weekly program,
and it won't be Tuesday nights.
:36:38
When would it be?
:36:40
Sunday afternoons.
:36:44
How many episodes?
:36:46
Five.
:36:49
Why don't you just fire me, Bill?
:36:51
I don't think
it's what either of us wants.
:36:58
You owe me five shows.
