Is this contextualized appropriately?
Is it even important enough to mention?
And sometimes one of the areas where I do think there is a very complicated flaw is
And you've alluded to it a little bit, but it's like we know the media is deeply flawed.
We know that journalism can go wrong.
And I would say particularly in the last, whatever, 15 years, we've seen a real decimation of local media, local newspapers.
We've seen a real rise in clickbait headlines and sort of
eager focus on anything that might be controversial.
We've always had that with us, of course.
There's always been tabloid newspapers.
But that makes it a little bit more challenging to say, okay, how do we sort things out when we have a pretty good sense that...
not every source is valid.
So as an example, a few years ago, it's been quite a while now, we deprecated the Mail Online as a source.
And the Mail Online, the digital arm of the Daily Mail, it's a tabloid.
Not completely, you know, it's not fake news, but it does tend to run very hyped up stories.
They really love to attack people and go on the attack for political reasons and so on.
And it just isn't great.
And so by saying deprecated, and I think some people say, oh, you banned the Daily Mail.
