Well, we should say that your substack has been reprinted on the Free Press.

It has.

Yes, it has.

Yes, yes.

No, I'm an admirer, actually.

I was very curious to think about what you would make of her.

Another person who came after you is Graydon Carter, who was the editor of Vanity Fair.

And he wrote in his memoir recently some things that were perhaps less flattering about you.

He said that the first two years there were pretty dreadful in part because, I'm quoting, the Tina Brown allies who had been left behind were deeply hostile and subversive.

And when he arrived, there was almost nothing lying around that I thought was worth publishing.

Were you surprised to read that?

I mean, he wrote that he'd heard a rumor that the style director of the magazine would go to your apartment to help style your clothes for the day.

You bet.

She did.

Is it true?

She'd come over every morning?

The once in future, perhaps.

I am wondering what your take is on this current media moment where we're seeing...

a lot of very fraught relationships between media organizations and people with money.
