Well, it becomes overwhelming after a while. That's right. I mean, you know, the 50th time they tell you that democracy is going to end in 10 minutes or, you know, you're going to die if you don't, you know, take this medicine or whatever it is or, you know, your kids are going to die. Yeah. It emotionally, it wears on people and it becomes very difficult.

I mean, I think this was a factor in, it was a factor in a lot of the corruption stories because the audiences were not, they were not going to be receptive to alternative versions of what they had just heard because it was such an emotionally wrenching experience for them.

I think it's happening slowly, but what's going to be interesting about this period is that there's going to be this avalanche of primary material that's going to come out. And I'm fascinated. I can't wait. You're going to need to hire more staff to keep up with it all. Yeah, probably that's the case. And it's going to be a fun time for journalists like me.

Look, there were stories that Biden was ahead in the polls that came out as they were telling us that he had to drop out because the poll numbers were so dire. NPR did a story like virtually, I believe it was a couple of days after the debate. I'll have to go back and look at this. But there were stories that he was doing fine in the polls.

Biden staffers that they said they never had... I'm sorry, that was about Kamala. They never had internal polling showing Kamala ahead, even though there were scads of stories telling us the opposite, which is...
