Soar & Susan Ericsson’s Behind the Screens argues
that product placement in films affects the production process and
even the design of films.

 In
a Frontline documentary "Why America Hates the Press,"
Steve Talbot quoted several Sunday morning talk shows to describe
a particular style of media.
He invoked fair use because his limited excerpts
were chosen specifically to illustrate a critique of the role these
talk shows play in informing the public.
