The subject of the film is global warming and Kyoto, but obviously this kind of "filtering" of information could apply to a lot of things and a lot of areas. It's the TV version of the "Science" magazine flap. Whether Prof. Leahey is full of crap or not is almost beside the point.
Obviously, this article is one side of the story. Anyone from Canada got more perspective on how TV is done up there?
If there weren't so many alternatives for getting your views out now, I'd probably be more worried about this. Thank God for 500 channels and the internet.
