Economist, 2 years ago...

A reporter from The Economist wanted to interview me about the Thailand thing. This headline re-assures me that I made the right decision to turn them down.
At this point any reporter in the MSM wanting to cover the story is looking to attack us. No reporter's going to write a feel good story about how we got away and started over somewhere else.
Perhaps some of the alternative media might offer better prospects.
Periodicals critical of communism like the Epoch Times spring to mind.
Ya, I won't need to do any interviews until the book comes out. Still working on it.
We get requests for interviews all the time and the ones that aren't MSM I turn over to the CEO of Ocean Builders so he can talk about the cool tech of the SeaPods and not need to bring up politics. We're just building houseboats, no need to bring up politics.
One interesting tidbit, while I was on the run giving interviews, one of the reporters questions wanted me to comment on Trump. Their obsession over Trump was so intense that they wanted to somehow figure out a way to bash Trump in a story about some dude fleeing the Thai navy. I just responded focusing on the fact that Trump was a real estate investor and how our floating home project would have been great for the Thai economy. They definitely didn't use that answer in their article.
