Ruth,



Since I watch this show every week (it's actually very good), they do 

focus on real-time issues and discussions. Whether or not there was 

the agenda as you suggest, I will only say if that were the case, the 

episode would not have treated the "accident" so lightly. As a matter 

of fact, the time allotted to this part of the show was 

insignificant, compared to the entire length of the show.



All in all, while there were some technical mis-information, I 

believe the topic itself was handled very well,, when compared to 

other TV movies, etc.
