Actually, I do read. As a matter of fact, I read the actual science journal articles about the comet studies, and didn't get all my information from a news article.
I have said this many times on radio and on the web, though not on my Planet X pages yet. The studies done that examined comet orbits were not very convincing to me. One, for example, only looked at the orbits of 12 comtets, and threw out some data that looked like it was pertinent. I talked to an orbits expert and he agreed that the paper was interesting, but unconvincing.
Don't mistake a published paper for fact. And certainly don't get your science from a news article.
As someone else pointed out, by claiming that astronomers have found evidence for a tenth planet, the Planet X crowd is shooting themselves in the foot. That evidence (if you believe the hypothesis is correct) points to a totally different object than what Ms. Lieder and Mr. Hazlewood claim to exist. Saying this is the smoking gun is basically announcing that they have no grasp of basic science at all.
And, in fact, when I was on Coast-to-Coast the first time, I talked at length about the real possibility of an actual tenth planet in our solar system very far out, over 100 billion kilometers out. It's unlikely, but possible. I was even involved in some studies to look for it. But this is a different thing entirely than a planet that is on its way in to pass by us in a scant 9 months.
So, on the contrary to what you said, I do in fact read current news, but I try get my news from the source. There's less chance of making mistakes that way.
