In late March, the Washington Post was planning on releasing a hit piece targeting Alex Epstein, the author of the upcoming book Fossil Future: Why Global Human Flourishing Requires More Oil, Coal, and Natural Gas–Not Less.
The crux of the hit piece was taking something Epstein had written at the age of 18 and attempting to frame it as racist.
The Washington Post was planning a hit piece on Alex Epstein, the author of the upcoming book Fossil Future: Why Global Human Flourishing Requires More Oil, Coal, and Natural Gas–Not Less.
The hit piece had nothing to do with the book — it was a personal attack on the author.
Here is the entire takedown of the hit piece.
WATCH:
Days later the hit piece never came out and Epstein pointed out the author had written multiple other stories.
Update: It's 3 days since the Post's hit-piece against me was supposed to run, and still nothing. (The author has written several pieces since.)
I've received overwhelming support.
Here's a 10-minute summary of the story so far.
Have a great weekend!https://t.co/1ImgVLmO2C

Scott Adams released a short video explaining how amazing of a feat this was.
Adams pointed out that Epstein “preemptively took out a hit piece.”
"He did what I've never seen anybody do. He actually, preemptively took out a hit piece. That's pretty hard to do. I mean, maybe some billionaire's done it by money and threats or something, but I've never seen a regular person, an author do it before." — @ScottAdamsSays pic.twitter.com/G5ihkYMQIo

Adams also pointed out that there has been a boomerang effect on The Washington Post and they are now being forced to defend themselves.
