We're not seeing, you know, dozens of reporters being beaten up. And there may be more attention to it than there has been in the past.

The politician beat up the reporter.

I'm sick of pundits. Don't get me wrong. I love the guests I have on every day. I love their energy and smarts and sass. But I'm sick of pundits because they don't always have their ears to the ground.

Brooke Baldwin
