the audience when they're effectively justifying that they know is just slavishly you know slavish fealty to trump never criticizing him kind of giving a wink and a nod to all the election conspiracies they talk about risk quote respecting the audience as if when you're a major media institution like that you don't have any influence over the audience and so i found that that rationalization coming from fox i found pretty disgusting and you know i mean we're obviously a lot smaller than fox although often times we get higher ratings than some of our raises cnn msnbc and actually much higher ratings many daytime fox yes exactly yeah so um but you know we have made it our mission to not try to like pander to you of what we think you want to hear but to actually you know come from an honest place of what we think is important and trying to sort through these things and sometimes you guys hate what we have to say and sometimes maybe you've you've changed a little bit i've certainly you know changed some of my views based on having soccer sitting next to me so this idea that it's only a one-way street where you just have to give the audience whatever their instinct is in that moment i find that really pretty shameful i completely agree with why do you think this i wouldn't if i one thing please do not construe this as a defense of fox there's a reason i don't go on the network anymore do you want to do i want to be invited for a two-minute program where you go like yeah democrats are bad bad bad bad oh also i also have some stuff about say the republicans yeah we'll see you later and we're out of time boom it's like there's no i had no interest in it whatsoever ripping the country apart as you said also you have a huge amount of influence these boomers they got no other option they're going to watch you no matter what as we've seen now with the fall of oan and yes max and all this stuff they're glued to the tv fox is part of their routine so if you lead them in a different direction you cover a different story and all that they'll watch it they have to they really don't have another choice and so you have the opportunity to create something new to introduce something different and all that you just don't want to that's cowardice and that's the problem with the network and why they're really just hamstrung and they don't really know how to handle themselves at this time so there's no heroes in this story that's really what i want to get across because one side's being lionized the other side of the villains what if both sides of the villains hey guys thanks so much for watching that's right just as a reminder you can become a premium subscriber today watch the full show completely uncut our reactions to each other's monologues you get to listen to it you get to ask us questions all that good stuff link is right there in the description or at URL_TOKEN best of all great way to say screw you to the mainstream media
