Emile de Antonio:
Well, TV Guide is an absolute nothing magazine. TV Guide is a special kind of magazine that panders to the lowest possible taste in American life. This is one of the reasons it has such a wide circulation. I found it very curious that TV Guide should suddenly attack Swedish and Dutch television - and meaningful. Deeply meaningful, but not in the sense that anybody would believe it. In that your average reader of TV Guide doesn't care about that kind of thing. But only when you consider who the publisher of TV Guide is - and that is Walter Annenberg, who is the United States ambassador to London and one of Mr. Nixon's closest advisors, as well as one of his closest financial supporters. What, I suppose, 'anti-American' really means by and large - at least the way I interpret it... I'm regarded as anti-American. I am not anti-American. I am simply against those institutions that rule America. I'm against those institutions which encourage racism, which have put us into the war and kept us in the war. The true picture of what goes on here can even be seen in American television, if you look at it long enough. The emptiness, the spiritual bleakness, the loss of meaning and the loss of purpose. The TV Guide article on Swedish television is simply a reflection of Mr. Nixon's paranoia.
