If there was some kind of award for shoddy, hyper inflated, negative shark coverage, NBC's The Today Show would get it.Over the past several years they have been the media leaders in 1970's style "horror shark" media hits.
If there was an award for honestly in shark media, new Blue Blogger Dorsal Fin would get it.
This week DF earned an extra tall shark statue for calling out The Today Shows ongoing and dare we say it, "moronically half fabricated shark based clap trap."
Actually, we liked that so much we'll say it again, "moronically half fabricated shark based clap trap."
The media's responsibility for balanced shark reporting is paramount and the only way they will be made to come to their senses is if we all take the time to point out when they stray completely off the media reservation.
In The Today's Show case that is several times a year, with few if any media hits highlighting research, science, and the ongoing decimation of worldwide shark populations.
Balance. In the world we live in it is needed now more than ever.
Kudos to Dorsal Fin for providing some.
