This article is a factoid filled hit piece. Not defending Lindell, but I would encourage people to find better coverage of this event. Finding unbiased coverage is likely impossible, but try to find at least a few you regard highly and read through the mess.
- xrd 5y agoI read it, and that wasn't my takeaway.
- strictnein 5y agoThere's no "better" or "unbiased" coverage because the whole thing is a scam.
- TechBro8615 5y agoI've been enjoying Rob Graham's Twitter threads on this sideshow.

- sillyquiet 5y agoThe Washington Times is hardly a bastion of anti-Trumpism; just the opposite. As a matter of fact, most (non-conspiracy theory-subscribing) conservative outlets, including social media forum-goers are labelling Lindell and his nonsense as embarrassing garbage in general. Curious what the downvotes are disagreeing with here.
- majormajor 5y agoIf you're saying we shouldn't even trust this conservative outlet's reporting, could you please provide some examples of where you think he is treated fairly? I think the opposite is true here, and that treating Lindell fairly means not giving credence to nonsense.
- debacle 5y agoConservative doesn't mean pro-Trump. I don't know if what Lindell has presented is nonsense. To me the presentation has been so bad that it's been hard to focus at all on what is/isn't being presented. Some of the people involved also clearly have their own agendas which is concerning. From what I understand from reading much of the reports, it seems primarily to be a rehashing of many of the things that have already been presented. I see Lindell as passionate person and it doesn't seem he intends to grift, but I think this symposium was massively oversold and I would bet that many conservatives, Trump supporters, and even Lindell supporters agree.
- tptacek 5y agoI do know that he presented nonsense, because the data is on Github. You can just look at it.
- dbbk 5y agoThe coverage is calling it a scam not because it's biased, but because it is in fact a scam and there is no way to call it anything else.
