And maybe there is something to be said for the idea that the Democrats are more accustomed to being able to work with the media and therefore taking a less adversarial, publicly adversarial approach and sort of working the back channels.
But
Here was an example where the effort to work the back channels because they did work to sort of shape our coverage and maybe discourage our coverage before it ran.
And then after it ran, they reacted in this very aggressive way that you saw play out there with that digital ad.
The New York Times definitely had my back and the executive editor at the time, Dean Baquet, publicly defended, you know, my reporting and me and sort of justified or validated the reporting as being like significant and something that we were going to continue.
And we did continue it.
And it was interesting because it did not, you know, I think much of the, I can say like much of the mainstream media either sort of shied away from it or was like more, you
measured in their approach to it.
And of course, that's changed quite a bit after Biden dropped out of the race and Democrats sort of blamed him for costing them a chance at beating Trump in 2024.
And now it seems as if there's much more of an appetite to scrutinize the Bidens.
Yeah, this is one that is a pretty similar fact pattern, actually, with what happened in Ukraine, which is that there was a Romanian oligarch, a real estate developer, extremely wealthy, who was being prosecuted by prosecutors in Romania in connection with what they alleged was a corrupt land deal in which he had, again, bought land from the state.
You know, Romania was a communist country.
Sensing a pattern.
Right.
And so he was able to get what prosecutors alleged was a real sweetheart deal from the state to to buy this like very coveted land.
And he built a massive development on it, including, you know, a mall and offices and commercial other commercial properties.
And he ended up renting and under a long term lease part of the land to the U.S.
government to build the U.S.
embassy in Bucharest here.
So he's being prosecuted.
