It doesn't take a brilliant person to connect these dots, Don.
And I worry and I think a lot of people worry about what's going to happen to CNN when David Ellison owns CNN, because they've promised.
I mean, to be clear, CNN's coverage of Donald Trump has softened considerably since the days that you and I were there under Jeff Zucker.
Right.
But it's not enough for Donald Trump.
Nothing is enough for Donald Trump.
And so David Ellison, apparently, according to The Wall Street Journal, has made promises to the White House that there's going to be sweeping changes at CNN when he takes over that company in about a month.
And so you're seeing a more compliant press because the president is weaponizing the powers of the federal government to intimidate businessmen who, I guess, have no principles into giving him what he wants.
Well, everything Barry says, it seems like maybe, you know, she she makes all these claims and none of them hold water.
And so one of them was after she fired Scott Pelley, she went on the CBS morning meeting call and said that she wanted to foster a, you know, respectful workplace and be transparent and all the things you typically expect from a corporate employee.
You know, it was very corporate, a lot of corporate jargon there.

You know, she's not transparent at all with her employees.
She didn't tell anyone why she fired Sharon Alfonsi or why she fired Cecilia Vega or why she fired the executive producer of 60 Minutes, Tanya Simon, and other senior leaders.
She didn't say anything about that.
She didn't even go to 60 Minutes and explain her actions.
And so for her to say that she wants to have a culture of respect and civility and transparency, it just doesn't make any sense.
And Scott Pelley was asking her these annoying questions.
Why did you guys fire Sharon Alfonsi?
What was wrong with Cecilia Vega?
