Right, I understand that.

The notable aspect that I found is that WaPo, a major news source, prints this lengthy commentary from Michael Salla whom few have heard of, but nothing of what, say, Putin would like to say about the conflict in Ukraine. That's absurd, is it not? We should attempt to explain to ourselves why they would do that.

In other words, there are things to be learned from a story about Ike and UFOs over and above things about Ike and UFOs.
