I remember early in my career, the Brent Bozell organization, what do they call it, media...
Research Center.
Radio Research Center.
This was pre-internet, pre-social media.
They had a newsletter that they did that came out, I don't know, monthly.
Hard copy showed up in the mail.
And they were indiscriminate, in my view.
Some of the things they called out, dead on.
Some of them were just cheap and inaccurate.
Sure.
We used to do fact checks at ABC after debates or big speeches.
And I had the same problem.
That's just like if if one candidate in the debate lies 100 times about serious stuff and one tells two trivial lies, don't do a segment that says here's two lies from candidate A and here's two lies from candidate B.
Like have some standards.
And part of why I just think you're so talented at this is I read all your stuff and it's always fair.
It's not cherry picked.
It's not exaggerated.
It's not out of context.
It's just it is what it is.
And it's done with great sophistication.
