But right now, I just don't think these stories are reaching them.
And I think it's evidenced by the fact that we're all just kind of in these algorithmic silos right now.

I mean, I don't think that's an unfair critique of kind of the media ecosystems and how we're operating in them.
I mean, I also think in this current political environment, the reverse was almost true, you know, in the middle of Obama's term.
But I think liberals are much more skeptical about,
of their own party than Republicans are of their own.
Like the Democratic infighting hasn't come to a head in a big way because they're the minority party and they don't have any power right now, but it is going to.
And there is a lot of disagreement there.

Yeah, which is interesting to me.
I mean, I do think, you know, somebody like Steve Bannon comes to mind, the kind of war room mentality who he โ I mean, I don't know.
I literally don't know what to make of him.
I mean, I know reporters who have talked, and I've never interviewed him.
I've never sat down with him.
Okay, well, I'd be curious what you think.
