00:00:00.000Yeah, I mean, as someone who is part of the independent media space myself, I, you know, I tend to be a little less optimistic.
00:00:10.020I mean, I'm optimistic about the independent media space, but I still feel that the traditional media space, the legacy media space is still pretty powerful.
00:00:19.760They still have a reach that, you know, some of us in the independent media space don't have.
00:00:26.560Like if the Twitter files made it to the front page of the New York Times, let's face it, it's going to get a lot of attention.
00:00:34.360And so we can't just dismiss the establishment media, you know, just like that.
00:00:39.580So does it matter that the mainstream media is not covering the Twitter files and essentially suppressing this?
00:00:46.300I mean, you know, is this information going to go out anyway and will have the kind of reach that, say, the, you know, or the impact that the mainstream media would have had had they covered it?
00:01:01.760I think the people who know about the Twitter files are such a niche right now, because when I talk to people and my friends who aren't really that active on Twitter, they don't know anything about it.
00:01:15.680And by the way, you know, my friends aren't conservatives necessarily or at all.
00:01:21.780They do care, actually, when they hear about it from, you know, I think they're able to be objective enough to understand the importance of this and sort of the outrage that people might feel about this.
00:01:34.220One of the key things that I felt came up actually in yesterday's Twitter files was that the FBI was paying Twitter, you know, over $3 million to, you know, work on for their time on working on these requests.
00:02:05.820They're not circulating in these, in these niches.
00:02:09.140So as much as we can have, you know, I was part of some spaces where we discussed this and, you know, we had a lot of people tune in, but, and, you know, people tweet about it.
00:02:20.020But I don't think it's reaching outside of that.
