We give the podium to a lot of people who shouldn't have the podium. The message that's delivered the loudest and in the most entertaining way is the one that we're going to put on because that's what we want. We want ratings more than we want to deliver information. That's just where the culture's gotten.

  • -- Dave Matthews 戴夫·马修斯

我们把讲台给了很多不应该站在讲台上的人。以最响亮、最有趣的方式传递的信息,就是我们将要传递的信息,因为这正是我们想要的。我们想要的是评级而不是信息。这就是文化的起源。
