Thanks for doing this at all.
In a lot of cases, people need catharsis.
Just like give people a, oh, you're not nuts.
This feeling of like, you're just not insane.
The shit that's going on is insane, but you're not nuts.
And we've leaned into that as hard as we can.
It's why we're the, I think, fifth biggest newspaper in the United States now.
You know, I used to be a reporter, and I was covering stupid stuff on the internet when I was a little wee baby reporter guy at the Daily Beast now 11 years ago.
And my friend's girlfriend was shot and killed on live TV, on Facebook, actually.
She was the first person killed by a guy wearing a GoPro.
It was brutal.
It was just really bad.
And then, like, when you Googled my friend's name, the thing that would come up was...
that he wasn't real or didn't exist and all this stuff.
The internet had just started to show the cracks of where we were headed.
So I started covering that for a living.
You know, I wound up covering Alex Jones's trial in NBC News.
And I remember sitting there when the judgment came down

And he said, I'm not paying any of this.
