4. I can only judge from this clip and not the surrounding context

but without the OP's commentary, I might have missed this line of criticism.
"Would they be using it the same way as you do" and to reflect on that was a very subtle way to express it. I wonder whether everyone in the room understood it.

5. The smug press in that room needed a lecture and I hope they

got it. Smoozing and playing Hollywood for one night doesn't shine that turd. News is now business and that ruins everything.
