What Do You Really Think, Ben Silverman?

January 27, 2009 11:26 AM

Times of financial turmoil (read: sucky economy) bring out the best euphemisms. Here's my favorite so far today. Here at NATPE, NBC programming chief Ben Silverman said, "This particular year has been one of the most transformative in television history and economic history."

Transformative. Yep, that's a euphemism.
