Mark; That is BS, there are people in this society that can't fart without the media taking measurements. I guarantee you if there is anything to Rossi's claims and even if there isn't, their are people in industry, our government or other governments that know. Have you interviewed any of them? Did you interview Bruce Tarr of Mass? How about Zawodny, Bushnell? Did you talk to Lori Garver of NASA and ask for an official position? Have you talked to any of Rossi's Licensees, interview any of them? Now here is the point. I doubt you have done any of those things. Not real investigative reporting, probably not even some of the stuff that nut Krivit has done. Of course if it turns out there is nothing to this and Rossi is a fake or a fraud you are really out nothing. Of course if not, you basically sat on the best chance you will ever have to do anything important in your chosen occupation. And even if you had expended some effort and found Rossi a fraud, it would still have made an interesting story.
Being a journalist doesn't mean just sitting at a desk waiting for someone to drop shit on your desk. Obviously, I am frustrated by the whole thing. Those interested in this should know the truth by now and Rossi is principally to blame, but Mark this isn't a story about science, it is either a story of fraud or about one of the most important changes mankind has seen in quite some time. I would think you as a journalist would want to get to the bottom of it either way. And don't tell me you or your brethren don't have the means. See my first comment.

In this case, PESN and Hank Mills are tossing out a claim that has nothing to follow up on ... there's no who, where, or when to chase. Also, your expectation that "the media" should "have either, confirmed a fraud OR confirmed something newsworthy" is equally nonsensical. Just consider that all of you on the Vortex list with all of your enormous brains applied to the topic for way longer than I've been following it and with far more scientific knowledge than I have on the topic and with all of your connections can only, at best, come up with what are ifs and hopes and theories.

As a journalist, I would expect you to have SOURCES I don't have. I would expect a journalist who is obviously interested in the subject to know more than I know, But, I read your articles and find that you provide me NO more information than I already have which I might say is very disappointing. Frankly, by now I would expect the media (and an investigative reporter and journalist) to have either, confirmed a fraud OR confirmed something newsworthy. I find they and you have done neither and it makes me wonder why the media in this case seems so inept.

The piece concludes with "<If> the test reports that are expected to be released at Zurich and then in October show evidence of the above, they are worth waiting for." Sure, and if the tests reveal that unicorns are real that would also be worth waiting for. Hank Mills continues: "I would go further; <if> they show kilowatts of excess heat and temperatures of up to 1,200C, the wait will have been trivial." If, if, if ... As my grandmother used to say: "If wishes were horses, beggars would ride."

We're not a liberty to say more than that, so don't ask. (PESN; August 22, 2012) No virus found in this message.
