I mean, one of the problems that we've seen is that a lot of the media in response to the changing and very difficult financial model for journalism, they've chased after really partisan audiences.

And so, you know, sometimes you read something and you're like,

Yeah, that was interesting, that was good, but I'm not sure I got both sides of the story there.

I live in the UK and we have a, just an example, two quality newspapers, The Guardian and The Telegraph, left-leaning, right-leaning.

They're both great newspapers, but I often

read one and I'm like oh but and then I go read the other and I'm like yeah you probably should have been somewhere in the middle both of you and it would have been I think a better story had you said well you know we got one side of the story but we actually had to go out and find somebody to tell us a little bit about the other side you know you can't be

to like the moon is made of rocks or is it cheese?

Who knows?

I don't mean that.

But I mean, seriously, hopefully cheese.

But, you know, like seriously thinking about like who are we talking to and are we getting to the bottom of this?

Yeah, I mean, well, the good news is that the financial press, like Bloomberg, is still among the most trusted.

And I think that's because

by the mandate of what you're trying to do, informing business people and investors, you kind of have to be like ruthlessly objective.

You're not chasing after partisan audiences and things like that.

But I do think that's a big data.

Data is important.

Transparency.

I think, you know, realistically, you know, one of the things that Wikipedia does that's kind of odd is we'll have a, you know, at the top of a page, the neutrality of this article has been disputed.

And I always... We've all seen it.
