You have actually read the book. Unlike all those other miami who interviewed you, i read the book and not only that, i highlighted it. I made notes. I come on. This doesnt happen in movies where the movie critics dont watch the movies but i happens in books. People talk about books without reading them so grateful to you. People say im work off your wiki page. And i just want to be a better journalist than everybody else. I feel like i can do better than Rachel Maddow right now. I would dont go deeper. We have more time, congratulations on the book. I thought it was really great and helped organize a lot of ideas pout what is happening at fox news that we all wonder but which is how this happened, how destructive is it, and is it ever going to get better or just a part of our world at this point thats never going to change .

I have read the book. Not only that, i highlighted it. [laughter] i made notes. Come on. Thats a phenomenon with the movie but people talk about books without reading them. Sometimes when they are promoting the movie im working off your page. I feel i could do better than Rachel Maddow right now the goal is to go even deeper than she did. That congratulations on the book and these ideas of what is happening that we wonder about how did this happen . How destructive is it and will it ever get better. But a question of how you got into journalism i got a sense that you were a journalism nerd the way i was a comedy nerd as a kid. Out often interviewed comedians i would hunt down john candy or Jerry Seinfeld because i was obsessed and you did a version of the same thing. The only job i ever wanted in my life when i was five i wanted to be a trash man that was a big event in my house. Was so amazed. Ever since then i wanted to be a journalist. Some people will say the two jobs are the same.
