There just trying to be "extreme," I want to know who the lucky beekeeper it was to have trump's team film their beeyard. Someone from the LA area should know. You could see from the preview it was a commericial bee guy.

Madbow is right. Contriversy and playing to people's emotions are what sells. That's why I rarely see truly unbiased media. Having worked with the media introducing animals to people through local news stations, I was always struck at how little reporters knew of their subject. The senario I'm used to is: show up 30 mins early to meet the reporter and set the stage; go over their "adjenda" for the report and prep questions to be asked "live"; wait for the session to start; then suddenly realize that all the ground work is now out the window and they are totally running a different direction, many times dealing very little with the true natural history and facts regarding the animal we've brought; and finally driving home joking with my partner about what "air heads" they were.

And how about all the predictable cliches? Everything from "sticky business" to "busy as a bee" as if they had just come up with something new that no one had thought of before.
