Public presentation of complex issues

I came across this by accident, and was disappointed that I'd hit the video clip 
rather than an actual story.  (The fact that this clip is nominally about porn is not 
really the point.)

What I found increasingly disturbing as the clip went on was how the deck was 
loaded against reality.  The "criminologist" with the better jacket, better shirt, and 
better haircut, who was in the studio, shot in part profile, and in front of a colour 
background, was the guy blowing smoke.  (If you are going to say that the ISPs 
should be responsible, they aren't the ones controlling your "rooter" [sorry].  Or, 
if they did set it once, they don't do anything to it on an ongoing basis.)  The guy 
who actually knows what he is talking about has made poor fashion choices (and 
that's *his* fault), but he's also shot in full-face mugshot format, in front of a dull 
grey background (and gets cut off at one point).  If they had deliberately set out to 
relieve parents of responsibility they couldn't have done a better job.

You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat.  You
pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles.
Do you understand this?  And radio operates exactly the same way:
you send signals here, they receive them there.  The only
difference is that there is no cat.                - Albert Einstein
