One of the few channels I still watch has fallen to the usual sensationalistic BS. I thoroughly disagree that there is anything informative or educational on any of discovery's programming, unless nothing but death re-inactments and property damage statistics count as educational. And I love that everyday in the middle of the afternoon (and shouldn't a parent be able to think that a SCIENCE channel would be good television for their children?) you can turn to discovery animal planet and see (always young and attractive AND showing cleavage... hope most of you have daughters, since you're trying to create a society where people like to hear about them dying violently. Would it bother you if that happened?) actresses covered in fake blood getting mauled to death by bears. Good strategy for teaching people to coexist with nature and try to appreciate it. Or maybe I'm supposed to care about my OWN species as little as these people do. Well that's not the case, so I think I'll get me a hunting license. You've made it very clear its us or them. Oh, and their oceanography programs seem to be encouraging people to exterminate sharks. I'm sure its hard for you idiots to understand, but there IS more to learn about in the natural world than how horrifically a person can be disemboweled by whatever animal. But ratings and money are important arent they? You'd have to be pretty thick to believe these people are doing anything to fulfill their responsabilities as a SCIENCE-based INFORMATIVE media. thanks for helping me lose hope in society and i hope you all make a lot of money. I also hope your kids take an interest in deep woods camping, you can think about that while you pick the next horror story for one of your 'educational' programs. Or maybe they'll become so traumatized by your programs that they grow up deathly afraid of so much as a chipmunk in the yard. Of course, it probably wont ever resolve itself so justly. isn't it great how only OTHER people can suffer for your gross negligence, greed, and insensitivity? Can we get this whole company re-staffed from the top down? All the people losing jobs in this country through no fault of their own and THESE pigs deserve to keep making money for this kind of excriment? If you don't want to encourage an interest in science then work for any other channel on television. I think you'll find they all share your pathetically self-destructive ideologies
