Don't give them an out.

It's they're splitting the media.

Some of them are doubling down, but a lot of them are starting to say like, yo, this is bullshit.

So we'll see, but they'll go back.

They're just, they're lame.

Well, first, I want to thank you for covering going to Minneapolis and doing great reporting.

And thank you for covering the protest in that church.

I mean, the evidence that it was journalism that you did is the journalism you did.

You interviewed the protesters, but you also interviewed the members of the church, the clergy.

And you did so in a dispassionate and entirely respectful and journalistically sound way.

i also want to thank you for your courage and bravery in the face of this sort of lawless intimidation tactic right and and i and i think this is something that you are rightfully outraged by and we should all be not concerned we should all be like alarmed at what's happening right now in this trump administration this is to be clear this is not law enforcement it is intimidation full stop when the government threatens journalists or critics for doing their jobs

They're not protecting order.

It's a warning to stay quiet.

And so the worst thing you can do in the face of that is to stay quiet.

So kudos to you for not doing that.

And we should use you as an example for every other journalist to speak loud and proud about doing their job.

The First Amendment exists to protect offenses.

Thank you.

in critical speeches, right?

Like that's the point.
