Dean and Bill Moyers together on NOW was interesting. Both had worked inside of administrations, so both have a very good idea of how things work on the inside. Here's the transcript, and Dean starts a bit past half way down the page.

There is certainly a very big pile of money being made. That is basically what David Brock's book 'Blinded By The Right' is about, although Brock would have us believe that at some point it wasn't just the easy money and cheap fame that motivated him.
A neighbor of mine, Lars Larson, was on local talk radio and is now being syndicated by Clearchannel. Lars worked for PBS (!) before he got his C ticket punched and signed on for the serious money. Lars is about as rabidly right wing as
you are marybeth, but his new house is really something to see... don't tell anyone I told you though.
Lars view is that it's like pro wrestling; it's all a sham to amuse the yuckleheads and
somebody is going to do it, so why shouldn't he and his family enjoy the proceeds.
While I agree that we all sell out to some degree somewhere along the line, that is well out of my comfort zone.
