 Hi all, Salvatore here with an informal holiday update regarding the News Laundry situation. Now, many of you have asked me why did I agree to do an interview with News Laundry and I have to say I've done more than 200 video interviews in the last few years and every other organization I've ever worked with has simply taken the Zoom video with the two people side by side and posted it on YouTube publicly for everyone to see. Obviously, I had no interest in signing up to a hostile, malicious interview in which the real video would be kept secret, a highly edited version would be put behind a paywall, and then malicious, slanderous copies, teasers would be put out to try to attract people to that maliciously recorded underlying interview. Everyone else, and I stress this, everyone I've ever talked to simply puts the video online. Now, not only that, other News Laundry interviews I've gone back and looked at their back catalog are just two people talking online, none of this ominous, shaky video footage of the interviewee, nothing trying actively to make the interviewee not just sound bad that is trying to catch them out on something, but literally look bad. It seems like I am the sole prime target for News Laundry, a more important target than anyone they've ever disliked before. Now, I guess it's fair enough you can dislike people, but it's highly disreputable and deceptive. Not to tell someone in advance, I certainly wasn't told in advance. We're going to do a hostile interview in which we don't release the actual interview. I mean, I'm sorry for not getting it in writing, but you know, when you do hundreds of interviews, you just assume that everyone is behaving according to the same standards. Not only that, I would be very happy if News Laundry behaved according to its own standards for other people. It seems like they have different standards for Indians. Even for Indians they dislike, then they have for me, or maybe for all Westerners, I don't know. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed today's Thread, it's my Christmas gift to everyone, Merry Christmas and have fun.
