Ignoring what conclusions they landed on, I'd like to defend this approach. For a controversial subject, first party expertise or second party direct testimonials will have less weight than actual data and tangible trends. We're having exceptional access to data, and I personally wish more people would go look for a topic they care about, gather facts and expose their conclusion. An example of it is Sarah Marshall's essays on Tonya Harding [0] with 0 access, only interviews, police reports and news papers of the time. IMHO it's not competiting with expert analysis or new reporting, and bring a different kind of insight to the table. https://www.thebeliever.net/remote-control/ https://www.thebeliever.net/remote-control/
