PBS’ follow up to Erin Brockovich left key details out

PBS’ follow up to Erin Brockovich left key details out | Ars Technica:
"But that approach—letting everyone have their say, without any critical evaluation—is part of the problem.
This is not a question of differing points of view, but one of carefully sifting the knowns and unknowns. Presenting opposing perspectives and leaving the viewer to decide is not the way to communicate science, and it doesn't excuse broadcasting misleading or incomplete information."
