After the 2008 financial crisis, this is very personally,
I felt that journalists were blamed oftentimes.
People were upset with the journalists.
They said that we did not blow the whistle loud enough.
And by default, since the crisis happened, perhaps we didn't.
And I would suggest if you go back and look at all the writings,
I think we're trying to blow the whistle pretty loudly,
but people didn't want to focus on that whistle.
And it's true when the music...
Chuck Prince, who ran Citigroup, used to say, when the music's playing, you have to dance.
And I think that's part of...
the problem.
I found more recently, the more I have been cautionary,
the more I've received feedback from readers and viewers and the like that it's almost paternalistic.
And they say, stop trying to protect me, Andrew.
And by the way, they say, you're not trying to protect me.
You're really protecting the man by sort of being almost paternalistic about these things.
So I don't know.
