Am I right about that?

Yeah, I do my best.

Well, that feels like I've seen you do it some.

You write for the free press, so what does it mean to be a culture writer for the free press?

But I background is very fancy there on your screen.

So I could see you want to be sort of a higher class.

The posh pantless background.

I like that.

Now, when you started, how long have you been at the Free Press?

Okay, so this was happening when you started.

It is interesting because I think when the Free Press started, it had one sort of audience slash, at least to me as a reader, sort of...

view where you would say this is what that is and then over the last probably 18 months it seems to have kind of flipped where i think people make um generalizations about it since barry weiss went to cbs have you noticed that your audience has changed as you've been writing or or how people look at what you what you write how it's being consumed

I try to do that, and I'm not able to.

Are you able to not read the comments?

I need to figure out why, but go ahead.

Do you... Okay, so Barry has now gone to CBS.

And I always thought for years that the free press is kind of like you said, a good way to hear different perspectives.

And there's been this criticism of her since she's gone to CBS and all that's come with it.

Have you found like a...

MAGA audience coming and joining you more since then, or do you think it's kind of still the same?
