Certainly, I think worthy of some reflection by everyone, the media and so on and so forth.

But it's hardly news to anybody and not actually that interesting.

Then other people in various places around the world, not speaking just of the US, but facts are threatening.

And if you and your policies are at odds with the facts, then you may find it very uncomfortable for people to simply explain the facts.

And I don't know, that's always going to be a difficulty.

But we're not about to say, gee, you know, maybe science isn't valid after all.

Maybe the COVID vaccine killed half the population.

No, it didn't.

Like, that's crazy.

And we're not going to print that.

And so they're going to have to get over it.

Well, I mean, I think the correct answer is you have to address all of that.

You have to say, look, this was a person, I think the least controversial thing you could say about Charlie Kirk is that he was controversial.

I don't think anybody would dispute that.

And to say like, okay, this was a figure who was a great hero to many people and treated as a demon by others.

He had these views, many of which are out of step with, say, mainstream scientific thinking, many of which are very much in step with religious thinking and so on and so forth.

And those are the kinds of things that if we do our job well, which I think we have in this case, we're going to describe all of that.

Like maybe you don't know anything about Charlie Kirk.

You just heard, oh my God, this man was assassinated.

Who was he?
