Instead of stopping to consider why a decorated Navy SEAL, a professional who didn't break the law and was participating in a protest, had beliefs that the election was rigged, the article tries to paint the man as a weak minded buffoon, buying into paranoia. The article acknowledges "It is surprising because Mr. Newbold’s background would seem to armor him better than most against the lure of baseless conspiracy theories." Yet instead of investing how someone who has training for this kind of thing could be convinced of it, they just try to group him with a supposed mob, and Alex Jones. While anyone can fall for paranoia, when someone such as Senior Chief Newbold, appears to have fallen for it, whether it is paranoia or not needs to be investigated. It appears they interviewed him, but they didn't cover any reasoning or logic, or explanation for his beliefs. This isn't how I was taught to write an investigative piece in college. I would genuinely like to know what convinced this ex-SEAL of his beliefs. Now, the world my never know, and just group him with a mob.
