the 20 was a 2024 gop convention was that the forgotten man and i think there's a lot of kind of astroturfing around that of people who are like well now there's political cachet to saying we care about these people and so we are going to put on a good show of saying that we care about these people when it's not really true but i think the the media at no point recognize that what the other half of the country
who didn't think like them, who didn't go to the schools that they went to, who doesn't go to the dinner parties that they go to, that doesn't have the same kind of cocktail conversations that they have, sees this man not as the opposite side of a coin, but as something fundamentally different to that coin altogether.
And so the media, I think, has tried to take on this thing that is Trump, ride the dragon a little bit of trying to figure out the ways that they can monetize from him, the way they can combat him that will be attractive to the audiences.
They're still trying to do that.
But he's ceased to be any sort of embodied person in their mind, I think, in the years since then.
And that's what explains, I think, their approach to covering him.
Yeah, I get asked that a lot, Mark.
I think there was a period of time during COVID in particular where everyone was kind of in their own little silos where I'd hear more regularly from the people who wrote for the outlets I was critical of or whose colleagues I was critical of.
And they would say, thank you, right?
Like this is, I don't know why we published this.
I don't know why we went on this headline.
I don't know why we framed the story this way.
And I appreciate you calling it out.
And I think one of the other things, to your point, and I don't want to toot my own horn here too much, but I think one of the values of the receipts is that I'm not trying to imbue, I'm trying to avoid imbuing my own personal perspective in what these headlines say or what they might say or how they might be taken.
And I think where my threads are the worst is when I try and do that, right?
When I try and really read into it.
I'm trying to hold up a mirror to these outlets, these reporters, these editors and say, look at this.
And a lot of times it's in the light of day, right?
Two years later, three years later, a lot of it post-COVID has been, look what you wrote at this time.
I'm actually working on a piece to try and explain this more broadly of like, look how lost we were, you were, your outlet was, right?
