I can not see that newspapers have been derelict in their reporting duty when it comes to cold fusion. There must be hundreds of crackpots and conmen out there who are doing 'experiments' on anti-gravity, time travel, cold fusion - you name it. Serious newspapers can not cover all that rubbish, nor should they. As for Rossi, he has done 12 out of 12 inconclusive, farcical demos; why should any newspaper give him space? The latest one, on October 6, was stopped after 3 hours of self-sustaining. What a farce that he would stop it then, leaving it ambiguous as to whether anything unusual happened, when he could, supposedly, have let it run for 30 hours or 300 hours and removed most doubts about whether or not the device was producing more energy than could be accounted for by a normal chemical reaction. No reputable newspaper would report on such nonsense except to poke fun at it. The demo scheduled for tomorrow will almost surely be the same murky thing. He has a customer who might be himself, and no information will come out of it except what Rossi decides to report. Rossi's report will be about as trustworthy as a report from Joe Newman on his accomplishments.
