today, some side, probably the right wing, would just have attacked Walter Cronkite. No, it has gotten so siloed, if you will. You know, you've got conservative media, and they have built up an audience, and they only want to watch conservative media and what it is that supports their conception, their view of the world, and liberal media, and liberals want to watch that. And, distressingly, few people just want to get the news and make up decisions for themselves as to what they think the truth is. Well, that's that's the that's a very small sliver of the country, I think, who even wants news. I mean, when I talk to people under 40, even, and I ask them, where do you get your news? Most of what they say is like, well, what somebody posts on my Facebook page. In other words, it's gossip. Like, that's to me what gossip is. Your friend is passing around a story. They don't know if it's true, they don't care, but, I mean, Walter Cronkite got 29 million viewers. I mean, nothing, no TV show (7/44)
