Hey, this might not be that helpful (because my English folder's at school) but how about in "Add sex and stir", Marty says "There is an ancient recipe- add sex and stir" so what he means is that you take any story and add a sex element to it in order to get ratings. Also have a look at "We ain't got dames" in the beginning when they are discussing ratings and their downfall with female viewers I am pretty sure there is a quote in there. The lightweight nature of current affair programs is partly a result of the pursuit of ratings along with media manager’s reduction of the audience to a ‘lowest common denominator symbol’ which ignores the perception and diversity of its members. There is definately one in The Siege even when Brian says "we're gonna try and make a whole half hour out of this one"- he doesn't care about the kids or the situation, all he cares about is ratings. Brooke asks the mother of the gunman to cry again because that footage would certainly get ratings.
Hope that helps a little
