And...

I think a lot of us understand that at a deep level, but then we're fooled because we turn on the TV and the people are wearing suits and ties and they're speaking in a very serious voice.

Or we open up the New York Times or the Washington Post and they have really nice fonts, you know, really nice serif fonts with real commanding authoritative lettering.

I forget if it was the New York Times or the Washington Post just a week or so ago published a headline saying,

a North American treaty organization, NATO, without America.

It was the Times, wasn't it?

And I said, the North American... I don't know about any North American treaty organization.

Are you referring to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization?

Are you referring to the Maine Western Military Alliance for the last 70 years that you, the New York Times...

You couldn't even the whole premise of publishing an article like that is to say that NATO would be incoherent without America because it's the American treaty organization.

One, there's no evidence we're actually pulling out of NATO.

So their their first premise is wrong.

But then their second one, you couldn't even look up the acronym.

You think, wow, these people and you know it.

I mean, you and the editors.

How did it get past the editors?

But you know this, Megan, because you read some story on one of these sites, and if it's about something you don't know anything about, so for me, I don't know, what do I know about what's going on in the Middle East or what's going on in some advanced sector of the economy?

I don't know anything, so I'm inclined to take their word for it.

But then I get to the New York Yankees, and I know a lot about the New York Yankees.

or I get to a story about cigars or whatever I know about, ukuleles, something I know about, and I realize that what I'm reading is totally wrong.
