Thom, I’m glad my reporting keeps carrying your content calendar.

While it’s great that you think my work is valuable enough to package for your audience, I just wish you thought the person who did the work was worth naming.

You are a professional broadcaster with [500k+ YouTuber subscribers], so you know how attribution works. You know the difference between citing a reporter and vaguely waving at “independent researchers” while turning someone else’s hours of exhaustive research into your own content.

I wouldn’t have done with so publicly, however you tend to delete my comments on YouTube, and your Substack charges people for the privilege of asking you not to lift their work without credit. Hard pass.

I’d call this Journalistic malpractice, however that feels too dignified. It’s just embarrassing.

Get a little more creative, buddy.
