So as a client, I mean, he had a TV case and I represented him and I've known him for a number of months.

And then the cases you mentioned happened in New York.

CNN, in their infinite wisdom, decided to cut and run.

In fact, I think I famously called him the cut and run network.

But they were already kind of descending into this polemic that they've decided the path they've decided to go down.

And the largest stockholder in their merger there has already said they need to get back to what they used to do, which is Malone of the Discovery Channel.

I think that there was something going on where he just decided to go all in on the anti-Trump network and turn it into that.

And at this point, like you, I have to go search for BBC, sometimes Al Jazeera, to try to get any kind of a factual or what's going on in the world.

You just can't find what it used to be 20 years ago.

I mean, it used to be that you had...

Larry King on there for many years.
