Vladimir Vysotskii on the Cold Fusion Now! podcast

Quote from seven_of_twenty

Krivit (not KrivitS) was admittedly abrasive with Rossi and Levi. But that was because they gave him the runaround. And who was right about Rossi from the start? Not you. Not Jed Rothwell. Not most of the believers on the Vortex email list. Not 22-Passi (sp?) not Frank Acland, not Paul Story, not Lewan. Not even Dr. Brian Josephson. Not Tom Darden, not Neil Woodford, and certainly not Ruby! It was Krivit, by Jove. In fact, if Krivit had been listened to, IH and many others would have saved thousands of lost hours of work and millions and millions of dollars. And those lost dollars certainly did not go to children with cancer. Nor did they go to much needed legitimate research on legitimate possibilities for LENR. Think of that also, please.

Ruby's interviews are essentially unedited if cosmetically attractive advertisements, in Rossi's case, for a known liar and crook. I am not sure how that is good.

SOT,

Yes, Krivit figured Rossi out almost from the beginning. Like I said before, he is good at digging into a story. Unfortunately though, his style is so offensive to most, they tend to focus on that instead of what he has to say. Had he been less abrasive to Rossi and Levi, he would have won over more readers in his war against the conman.

He also ran roughshod over McKubre before Rossi became well known, and later with Josephson and a few others, which made it all the easier to ignore him. Guess the moral of the story, is that it takes more than investigative skills to be a good reporter.

Not too late for him though. He could learn from the past, and start tomorrow as a new man. Maybe even get to the bottom of this NASA/GEC story?
