John, You act like you expect Arlo or I to provide you with basic science education. When I recommend Nova you get all outraged and huffy. Whatever the problems with mass media and education in America are, I want to assure you emphatically that Nova is not among them. Nova is part of the solution. I have never seen a Nova program that did not challenge and enrich my thinking.
In subject areas with which I am familiar, I am always delighted to see interviews with some of the top flight experts along with excellent summaries of their work and its impact on the field in question. PBS does not work on the same business model as other mass media and the quality of their programming provides us all with a model of the media's power to be a positive force for education in society. I am tempted to suggest that your lambasting of Nova is evidence that you don't know shit from shine-ola. But in fact all it does is add support to the ample evidence already present in your posts. If you would like to improve the quality of your discourse here, adjusting you attitude toward Nova would be a positive and dynamic step forward.
