Hi, it's John. Welcome to the channel. Enjoying a cup of coffee this morning down in my basement

Thursday, November the 28th. Happy Thanksgiving, by the way, to my American friends and a short
00:00:09.980
video to start the day today. And this is via Sky News Australia. I don't know whether you've
00:00:16.140
seen this, but it is quite fascinating. It shows the total lack of honesty, the total lack of
00:00:22.180
self-awareness from the lunatic asylum that is CNN. Enjoy. There's been a clash on CNN after reports
00:00:32.100
that X is now the most ideologically balanced social media platform. Take a look. I heard
00:00:38.160
what you're saying about X. I saw a survey this week. It's now the most ideologically balanced
00:00:43.640
user platform. Scott, stop, stop. It's too early. I just sat down. I've only been here for two minutes.

And here is that report on CNN. Look at this. The party ID among those who regularly use X slash
00:01:08.020
Twitter for news. Back in 2022, 65% of those who regularly use Twitter slash X for news were
00:01:14.380
Democrats. Just 31% were Republicans. Look at where we are today. Just a completely different
00:01:19.760
picture. Now it's basically split between Democrats at 48%, Republicans at 47%. And what I should note,
00:01:26.480
Mr. Berman, is this now, this new overall makeup matches the overall electorate far better.
