He was talking to to Robert Greenwald about Murdoch and FOX News, and he played a clip of the late playwright Dennis Potter giving an interview as he was dying of cancer. Potter said that everyone always talks about how if you had a limited time to live you would kill so and so. He said that he had named his cancer "Rupert" and (to paraphrase):
"If I had enough time and enough strength I would shoot Rupert Murdoch...no other man has done so much to pollute an already polluted profession."
Amazing.
