It is not one hour on a Sunday night with a huge lead-in from the NFL, which is what 60 Minutes has got.
It is not an audience that has grown up with this franchise and believes in it and will follow it blindly.
That's all gone.
And so there is an argument that this isn't a political intervention.
What it actually is is a life-saving intervention of bringing in a whole new generation of people into this brand, this brand which is trusted, and building it
out and turning it into something extraordinary.
Oh yes, absolutely.
And one very interesting thing about it, you know, Trump is sort of obsessed with broadcast media and he's obsessed with legacy media.
And the truth is that's, you know, the steam trains, those things.
And he is obsessed, as are most of his generation, as are most of our generation, with these things that are not going to be here in 30 years' time.
You know, with the stuff that we grew up with, which we still consider to be incredibly important and which culturally...
is still incredibly important.
You know, it's still because it's an echo chamber and, you know, legacy media always, you know, what legacy media talks about leads what other legacy media talks about.
But that's not going to be the battleground.
I mean, again, they're saying the stuff we do is incredibly difficult.
The kind of journalistic kind of skills you're going to have to do to have to do what we do is almost impossible to find.
And you kind of think maybe it's not.
Maybe there is a next generation of journalists.
I mean, who will want to touch 60 Minutes is another question.
