If there's a market for it, then there's a market for it.

But I just mean, you know, I think somebody who has arisen to the top of ESPN, and he's earned it, I'm not in any way upset about it, but...

If you harbor certain views, you're not going to rise to the top of ESPN.

Yeah.

And so I think that there's probably an Overton window within which he constrains what he talks about.

I don't know if it's the same.

I mean, not to say that there aren't people who haven't been, you know, lectured or censured or whatever for speech.

That probably, of course, has happened.

I just don't know if that's Shannon's situation.

I actually have what I would call mixed feelings about that.

So let's talk about the good.

I think the good is any time a group of people, and I think you would agree, not every time are the Piers Morgan debates perfectly civil.

They can get a little bit out of hand, which is part of the dramatization of it for sales and for ratings.

But I think the truth of the matter is it's better that people can engage in that kind of a process where you have the airing of ideas and people say exactly what they think.

And then they go through some kind of process to try and rebuttal it.

I do think that that is a, in general, a healthy exercise.

But the problem is.
