I don't want to say it's not hard. But people, I think because it seems so obviously terrible that you're in the same room, people ask me, “How did you do that?” Honestly, that didn't affect me as deeply as when I've tried more recently to do a story about other shootings.
SAN FELICE: As they're announcing all the different categories that I knew that we'd put ourselves in for -- editorial, breaking news, all these different things -- and and we're not getting them.DAVIS: Oh man, what happens to the collective group when we get to the end of this and they don't say our names?OHL: I was like, Oh God, you know, we didn't we didn't get it. It’s OK.
