She said "Unh-huh" in that "Oh yeah, right" tone of voice that's unmistakably a sign of disrespect and superior values.

But they're a front, you know. They have nothing to do with the attitudes and moral positions the television as a thing itself displays.
They're "professionals", they're picked and groomed and educated to do what they do, and they're as replaceable as cars and they know it and they're as desperate as you'd expect someone in that position with that much at stake to be.
