This piece illustrated credibly why I find so many wildlife films and television disturbing and not credible. It makes the case that honest portrayals of the wide range of wildlife and their behavior are not sensational enough for commercial media outlets. It appeals to the idealism of listeners who might want to learn about the natural world from more balanced, accurate portrayals.
