And unfortunately... Don't forget low taxes, Megan.

Your point about the culture at CBS is such an important one that if you've worked at these big networks before, you know that it's exactly as you described it with CBS in particular.

There's this preciousness about the brand that makes this difficult because Barry has the worst critics in so many cases.

If it is, there's good gatekeeping and there's bad gatekeeping.

And what Scott Pelley is doing is honestly bad gatekeeping.

Like, if her critics are Scott Pelley and Rita and the people who have run CBS into the ground, although it's now going further into the ground if you're looking at ratings for Evening News and such, that is not helpful, right?

Like, I don't have a lot of sympathy for Scott Pelley who just doesn't want any of this precious, precious product, which the American people are increasingly rejecting, to have a little bit of freedom.

fresh air and this the the built-in hire is very interesting because my understanding is he comes from new york times documentaries that is kind of what the sweet spot for 60 minutes should be and that what you air on broadcast should be able to double on youtube and be a really good ad generator uh for people in or for these networks now they're always going to have to cut overhead you're never going to be able to have stephen colbert with 200 staffers for a prime time like late night i'm sorry late night comedy show and that's going to apply across the board you

Nor should Stephen Colbert.

It's crazy.

It's crazy.

And you can't support that.

But you can probably be profitable.

Like, Fallon does pretty well on socials.

You should be working to find a new way to use all pieces of the news buffalo and all the different platforms that people are now on.

So maybe it's an interesting hire.

But...

yes like you you have to be able to do both and i understand why people like scott pelly feel like they can't do both i also feel like the gatekeeping from scott pelly and alphonse and rita and leslie stahl or whomever else is mad about some of this stuff it's like you are the last people to have any credibility about what should be happening at this network so it's that part of it i mean

Did you see Trump called him transgender over the weekend?

Yes, yes.
