Okay, thank you.
Right.
So very, very solid investigative work from CNN, as always.
It's difficult to...
to talk about this as freely as I would like to without making some kind of allegation that I can't back up.
But I very much see this personally as a fraud for Democrats based on the fact that it is a Democratic administration running this.
And there is evidence that is coming out now that at least looks like there is some degree of willful blindness, right, basically deliberately turning the other cheek on the part of the Walz administration in Minnesota.
And so in that context, I would argue that this is basically part and parcel of how we tend to see the broadcast networks cover this kind of thing.
It starts out as basically this is something that Trump is upset about.
This is something that conservatives are upset about.
So we'll mention it a little bit, but always frame it in that context.
And then when we're forced to go further, right, start actually attacking the accusations themselves.
or the scandal itself.
CBS, I would say, though, obviously is not a part of that general trend in this case.
And hopefully that's evidence that CBS is actually improving a decent amount.
Although I'm going to hold my judgment on that until we've given both Barry Weiss and Tony DeCoppo a little bit more time to cook.
Yeah, thanks so much for having me.
