We are not in the business of getting paid. I am personally insulted by this insinuation. We can go on with this interview, we can leave this topic and move on but let me tell you, this is not an insinuation that I will take lightly. This company is not in the business of getting paid. This journalist you are talking to right now has never been or ever will be paid by anyone to ask or not ask any questions."[6][2]
