So, you know, it depends.

And, you know, I think it's something that we should always be vigilant about.

But it's, you know, in general, I think we're pretty good.

And I think any time you go to any serious political controversy, we should have a pretty balanced perspective on who's saying what, what the views are, and so forth.

I would actually argue that the

The areas where we are more likely to have bias that persists for a long period of time are actually fairly obscure things or maybe fairly non-political things.

It's kind of a humorous example, but it's meaningful.

If you read our entries about Japanese anime, they tend to be very, very positive and very favorable because almost no one knows about Japanese anime except for fans.

And so the people who come and spend their days writing Japanese anime articles, they love it.

They kind of have an inherent love for the whole area.

Now, of course, being human beings, they'll have their internal debates and disputes about what's better or not, you know.

But in general, they're quite positive because nobody actually cares.

And anything that people...

quite passionate about, then hopefully, you know, there's like quite a lot of interesting stuff.

So I'll give an example, a contemporary example where I think we've done a good job as of my most recent sort of look at it.

And that is the question about the efficacy of masks during the COVID pandemic.

And that's an area where I would say the public authorities really kind of jerked us all around a bit.

In the very first days, they said, whatever you do, don't rush on and buy masks.

And their concern was shortages in hospitals.

Okay, fair enough.
