but yeah, I remember that "honest" speech, and yes it was brutally honest and well articulated. The actor was simply reciting a "fantasy" that every news anchor has been dreaming of saying one day or another, at least the good ones who have integrity. It's basically an inside joke for those in the industry.
In short, he is not saying anything new that we didn't know already. At the end, a pointless exercise.
