Okay. Um, so you can't site the New York
0:04
Post, Fox News, or you on Wikipedia,
0:08
um, as a source. Um, so I am making the
0:14
modest proposal that this blacklist
0:16
should be abolished. It was established
0:18
in 2017. It's fairly new. They
0:21
right after Trump,
0:22
what's that?
0:23
The year Trump gets inaugurated.
0:25
That's right. they decide that we're
0:26
just not going to hear from certain news
0:29
organizations just because because
0:31
objectively they're bad.
0:32
Wikipedia may not site the um well, for
0:36
example, the New York Post uh and and um
0:41
we should actually investigate whether
0:44
that decision was made at about the time
0:47
that the Hunter Biden laptop story was
0:49
was breaking. Right.
0:51
Is this public, by the way? Can you can
0:53
I go on the Wikipedia site and find out
0:55
what's blacklisted?
0:56
