This critic stepped into a Monty Python frame-of-mind, so today we turn the spotlight on one of Mario Lanza's fans, Jeff Rense. One or both of my readers may recall that once upon Yahoo 360 I had something nice to say about someone - it was Tammy Faye. (Haven't changed my mind about that.)
Rense.com was one of the first website news publishers I discovered in the aftermath of nine-eleven (from the Jersey shore view with weekday commutes to Bryant library as job-hunting base.). It is the only alternative news source still on the toolbar and it gets clicked before Reuters with the morning java. If the world starts ending I'm confident Rense will report. Even more importantly, if something appears in the sky - which is not unthinkable considering all the stuff floating around in the asteroid belt and in the minds of men - Rense will report while Reuters awaits an official press release. There are other websites that can be relied upon - Michael and Alex come to mind - for exclusives and breaking news, however it is a little noisy in that neck of the woods. Rense likes it quiet and so do I.
One might say, Now hold on - Rense has some very strange woo-woo links. Yes. And Tammy Faye believed in the healing power of Benny ("when Billy goes") Hinn. Some things are unexplainable. In the case of rense.com, there are subject areas that are quite the eyebrow-raiser. And unexplainable. But the news must be gathered.
The other might ask, wasn't there a Rense v. Camelot remark in a recent post? Yes again. In retrospect perhaps Rense did us a favor. The guy's an intuitive I suspect.
Jeff Rense is a professional interviewer and reporter who honorably walks the tightrope between audience demands and his own integrity. He does not appear to have an on-site fan club and there are no signs of him organizing a posse. Rense and his radio show guests are intelligent, eloquent, and well-mannered. He does not abide fools or charlatans and yet he is patient with folks like everybody's-favorite-crazy-cousin Ben ('Grasshopper' Fulford). If Rense posts a rumor, it is stated. If a story turns out to be wrong, the website will move the erroneous news headline to the top with the word 'hoax' beside it. Granted also is that Rense is obsessed with the latest in health products and often invites his advertisers as guests. But then, it is his show. One can turn off the radio or skip past the ads.
Jeff Rense has a mild-manner and good-natured perspicacious curiosity - with a twist of woo-woo.
