But they also have something that the left doesn't have right now, which is authenticity. And they're trying to claim that this is a top down phenomenon when it is absolutely the opposite. Yeah.

First of all, the reason that they can't adapt on the left is that they have an orthodox religion, which won't allow them to get over certain catechisms. Nixon, Jim Crow, etc. These have nothing to do with life in America 2025 right now. They're mourning a monopoly. They're mourning a period when there were three networks and basically three newspapers.

Now, they can't get over the fact that they've lost power, that the Internet goes from side to side, not top down, that it is indeed a net and that it's decentralized. The attempt in the last few years before Trump was elected and Elon took over Twitter was to make the Internet and social media resemble that old monopoly.

They wanted to sit on top of it and use these academic misinformation organizations and State Department-sponsored disinformation organizations to curate it in a way that was really a losing battle in the modern age. Because the internet now is like water. It can flow around you. And it's not just Trump who can get his message out. It's all kinds of

what characters that they would consider fringe. We've entered a new age and the New York Times can't believe it's not still 1974. And then invoking Nixon can't scare everybody from, you know, speaking up. But if you either get with it, people and Jim Rutenberg, or you're going to be left behind and you have been.

Megan, they're on a nostalgia trip. Right now on Broadway, George Clooney is playing Murrow, okay? And good night and good luck. CBS can't get over its glory days. New York Times can't get over its glory days. But they all go back to the 70s. It's like when my father insisted on playing music from 1955 when he was a high school football player. He just had to revisit it obsessively.

And going back to Nixon and other moments when they had the power that they lack now, it's not our fault that there's no Walter Cronkite. It's theirs. If they had someone as talented and trusted and charismatic and frankly, objective seeming as Cronkite, bring him forth. I don't see it.
