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.
1:19:08
Let me ask you this:
1:19:11
...why didn't you correct McCarthy...
1:19:13
...when he said that Alger Hiss
was convicted of treason?
1:19:16
He was only convicted of perjury.
You corrected everything else.
1:19:20
Did you not want the appearance
of defending a known Communist?
1:19:23
I would argue that everyone censors,
including you.
1:19:30
What do you want to do, Bill?
1:19:36
I'm takng your program
from a half an hour to an hour.
1:19:38
And it wont be a weekly program
and it won't be Tuesday nights.
1:19:42
- When would it be?
- Sunday afternoons.
1:19:48
- How many episodes?
- 5.
1:19:53
Why don't you just fire me, Bill?
1:19:55
I don't think
it's what either of us wants.
