    Props to Klippenstein, he’s consistently been an examlar of good journalism

    When David Grusch testified that UFOs are real, Klippenstein made a point of exposing that Grusch had past issues with PTSD and alcoholism stemming from his service.

    Examlar indeed.

      That seems relevant to me, a disinterested observer. 🤷‍♂️

        Yeah, it really makes anything he does invalid. The same as it would for you or I.

        Maybe I should also clarify: fuck business ghouls. I’m not here to defend health insurance.

          It’s an important factor to consider when thinking about the credibility of his claims. That’s what journalism is supposed to do, give people the facts. I get that discussing people’s medical history and psychological condition is a sensitive subject, but when someone’s making public claims and accusations in front of congress about delusional stuff like “non-human spacecraft” and their dead pilots that level of scrutiny is justified.

            Why do you assume it’s delusional?

      lol. You guys had me looking up “examlar” thinking I was going to learn a new word.

      My hopes were dashed as I’ve discovered that you two just misspelled “exemplar”. Probably on purpose. I’m sure of it. How dare you!
