But it gave people... My father is also a journalist.
And it gave people like my father, who didn't go to an Ivy League school, I mean, I didn't either, but who sort of wasn't a great student but was really into sports and started out as a sports reporter and then became a crime reporter...
you had a non-elite path into the mainstream media.
It was much more of a blue collar profession because of the structure of it, because of the way you sort of learned the craft.
And it also cultivated trust because you could see for yourself if the world that the media was, if the world that the newspaper or the local news was describing was the world that you saw.
You would see people you knew, things that were happening in their community reflected in the newspaper, and so you would be able to develop a kind of different relationship.
You knew journalists, you saw journalists in your community.
That has been decimated, but that is not a story of left-wing ideological capture.
That is a story of kind of a muck capitalism and plutocracy.
So I think that the... I mean, I actually... I don't necessarily disagree with Douglas that this kind of constant hygiene is necessary, that journalists need to... I don't even know if objectivity is the right frame, but there does need to be a sort of a constant...
conversation, institutional constraints, as well as a certain professional pride in being able to distinguish between what you hope is true and what you actually find.
The argument that I want to make is that it is only
the mainstream media that sort of has that ethos.
If you read conservative media, you will not often find, occasionally you will, but I think in general, you will not often find a lot of stuff that conservatives don't wanna hear.
I mean, likewise, if you read a blog devoted to the various kind of failings of,
the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, or whatever, they're not going to suddenly say, oh, you know, I thought they got that story wrong, but when I looked at it again, they really got it right.
I just...
I know from being in newsrooms, from being around journalists, that there is a hunger out there to find the counterintuitive story, to find the unusual story.
Very recently, the New York Times did a big piece on...
puberty blockers that made a lot of our readers extremely angry.
