voting rights act. now, in 2006 that was such an extreme position that 98 republicans in the senate -- i'm sorry, 98 senators voted in favor of reauthorization of the voting rights act. not a single dissenting vote in the senate. it was signed into law by a conservative president george bush. and yet here we are in 2021 be adam kinzinger actually marks kind of the midway point in the press coverage of democracy because of his position on -- on the january 6th commission. rather than representing a still extreme position in opposing voting rights. so that's really my main critique, the goal posts have been moved and for everything other than the press' coverage of press freedoms. >> so the press takes its own interests very seriously, but then doesn't do as good a job with the rest of it you're saying? >> i think that's exactly right. >> so what should we be doing
