I did not. Eliana, did you go? I have been one time, and that was enough for me. I think maybe 2018 or 2019, that was good enough for me. And I cannot tell you how happy I was not to attend any cocktail parties or any events associated with this weekend of... festivities in Washington.

All right, I have a little bit less harsh to take on this. I would say, full disclosure, Alex is a friend. I think highly, I thought highly of his White House reporting. I agree with you on two things. First, I would say, let's just stipulate these are awards for the mainstream media, bequeathed to mainstream media people. Missed it is not the right word. It would be, we didn't want to cover it.

And you could talk about the reasons why they didn't want to cover it. You know, Alex tried to cover it and the Wall Street Journal tried to cover it. Those were the two outlets that tried to cover this story. Pretty late in the game, Eliana. Pretty late in the game. No, I agree with you.

So they didn't wanna cover it. And the other piece of this is not only did they not want to cover it, they then gaslit the American public about the conservatives who were pointing this out. The New York Times and other outlets wrote about the deceptively edited videos of Biden and did full pieces about how any commentary about Biden's diminished mental capacity

was misleading so they didn't want to cover it and then they told their readers that any coverage that was occurring of it was misleading and fake and so i think to sort of fully address this uh you would have to say we didn't want to cover it and we gaslit uh people who on their own We're going down this path and we're curious about what was happening.

And the third thing I would say is that it's somewhat less courageous to speak out about this now, because after that June debate between Biden and Trump. The mainstream media was exposed as sort of the man who has no clothes. So these things are safe to say. And by the way, books about this are now marketable when they weren't before. So now this can be told. Everything can be said.

And it is considered courageous to say this sort of thing, whereas it was really hard and dangerous for mainstreamers to say this before that. So I think that's the context around all of this.
