He also expressed his disregard for growth statistics and emphasizing the importance of “killing the opposition.”
“Our rivals should be checking in, out the back of their chauffeured cars because they can’t believe what we did,” Logan shouts.
The speech has resonated with many viewers who see it as a commentary on the current state of the media industry and the cutthroat nature of the business. Some have even drawn parallels between Roy and real-life media moguls like Rupert Murdoch.
