where the journalist becomes the celebrity and the journalist has a show named after themselves and pounds their chest and says, look at what I did.
It's so hard.
No one else can do this.
But I think that part of what is we all love or the people who do love and appreciate journalism is the story is about the truth.
The story is not about the person who has found the truth.
And maybe again, this is me being an old man in the future of being a good journalist.
And in order to get the funding and the credibility, if we're losing faith in old institutions, that you build up that reputation around the individual who people will trust and put money into.
But don't pretend like you can't put yourself out there as a pioneer and pretend as if pioneers aren't gonna get pilloried.
Like that's the thing that's confusing to me is we all know this to be the case.
And I don't know, like I suspect I'm someone who is supremely confident and I believe I can do just about everything.
And I suspect that Nick Wright is the same way.
But I don't think that I could do investigative journalism because I don't like talking to people that damn much.
So what you're doing is great work.
It's hard to do.
Maybe Nick could do it.
Maybe Nick can't.
The fact that we're dwelling on it is irrelevant.
The fact that you are like, look.
I did this.
Give me an award.
