The piece at the Examiner seems to be nothing more than a press-release or long-winded advertisement disguised as actual reporting.

Naval you seem to have the idea that you have debunked many claims on these boards.

The problem is that debunking is nothing more then proving a theory or proposal to be false.

Debunking is the act of disproving a proposal or hypothesis.

So this requires PROOF, the same proof that you always like to demand from others. The last debunking effort I saw you undertake was suggesting that there could not be structures on the moon because we have (amature) telescopes that would have long since detected them.

Now if that is your definition of debunking then I understand that you think you have debunked many claims on these boards...

I agree Savior that judging by the article it would seem that way. I haven't looked into it enough to be sure though. The actual site is blocked at my work (maybe my boss expects me to actually work when I'm at the office ).

Edit: After reading your post again I'm somewhat confused. Do you mean that this is an advertisement from Examiner or from Exopolitics?

As in an advertisement for, or a press-release from, the Exopolitics journal. That is all the link is, it is trying to sell you the latest issue of the journal.

Ok thanks for clearing that up it is the end of the day for me and I apparently experienced some sort of brain malfunction.

The error seems to have gone away now..

Seems rather new agish in a Goodchild sort of way... and sorry... but I can't bring myself to take the stuff seriously.

I do agree it appears to be more or less a plug for this magazine but it does link to the most current issue that it is referring to for free. How is it trying to sell me the latest issue of the journal when it offers a link to the latest issue of the journal for free?

The word "sell" does not always mean an exchange of money for goods or services. I use it here in the more figurative sense.

I guess you are saying book reviews and other editorials are just advertisements too?

Not in the least. No where did I even make that inference. This is obviously neither a review or editorial, because there is no discussion of the journal, the quality, strengths, weaknesses of the articles and so forth. It is just a brief run down of what the articles are about. The article in question is not a review.
