What BBN said about it

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNetflix is reportedly laying off one thousand workers, its biggest cuts since twenty twenty-two, as it struggles to keep audiences watching.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWith us is Governor Wilbur Zaborowski of North Lower Marsh.
Governor Wilbur ZaborowskiVera, let me be clear: when people stop watching television and go outside, they're finally embracing the active lifestyle my administration has been promoting.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo you're taking credit for a thousand people losing their jobs?
Governor Wilbur ZaborowskiI'm taking credit for the walking. The jobs are a streaming problem, and frankly, let me be clear, my opponent subscribes to three services.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorGovernor, the report says audiences are not staying on the service. It doesn't say anyone took up walking.
Governor Wilbur ZaborowskiNot yet. But my office holds this clapperboard, a gift from the film board, and you can see my name on it right here.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIt says Zaborowksi.
Governor Wilbur ZaborowskiThat is the film board's spelling, and I want that investigated. Let me be clear, I never approved a single letter of it.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorYour state gave Netflix a tax credit for a show that was cancelled after one season. Do you take credit for that too?
Governor Wilbur ZaborowskiLet me be clear, a season is a season. Whatever happened to it happened in the viewing, which is something the audience did, not me.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe audience.
Governor Wilbur ZaborowskiYes, the people who spent nine hours scrolling for something to watch.
Governor Wilbur ZaborowskiLet me be clear, I walked past them on my way out of the room.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorGovernor, last question. Will you take credit for these layoffs, yes or no?
Governor Wilbur ZaborowskiI'd never claim a thing like that. But I did already order the clapperboard reprinted, and it still has the wrong spelling.
