Frank:"I was the one who told you that the media was not presenting an accurate account of the findings, so why should I now spend any time defending anything they said or that YOU thought they said? If you have a gripe with popular media, then take it up with them, but the point I keep making is that the scientists doing the work are generally not the ones making outlandish claims and neither are they simply sycophants for a popular line. The fact that you fall for such lines is your problem and not theirs. "

Well, Frank, which side are you going to draw the "media" line on National Geographic?

Here's one definition of "media":

"Messages that are distributed through the technologies, principally text in books, study guides and computer networks; sound in audio-tapes and broadcast: pictures in video-tapes and broadcast; text, sound and/or pictures in a teleconference.
