• Lowell Bergman - "Inside CBS" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TL9alFFz22Y)

  • "CBS was also up for sale that August, it was announced. But [at] the same time, something else was announced, that there was a criminal inquiry beginning in the Justice Department - a possible perjury by the eight heads of tobacco companies who had sworn that they didn't believe that nicotine was addictive. One of those people was the son of Larry Tisch, the owner of CBS—because they owned Lorillard Tobacco. So I have a situation where, this has happened at ABC, the guy I have on camera - maybe he could derail the merger with Westinghouse and CBS at that point—but also [he] might be a witness in a grand jury against the son of the owner of the company. So yeah, there's a lot of possible problems that would result from that."—some of Lowell Bergman's words from the interview
