10. I don't have a flip response to the two clips.

The first does depict the smarmy and dismissive response taken by too many, and some of the specific media behavior and destructive context shifting done to us; for that, the interviewee is sympathetic and some of the insular, self-responding nature of the corporate-owned media aptly depicted. Her heated reaction off-screen...did it truly have to go that far?

The second flatly mentions specific corporate abuse which many may not be aware so that is brilliant.

On a deeper level, it's good the conversation is being had at all as the issue is as fresh today as ever, most unfortunately. I am wary of where it may end; HBO are owned by Time/Warner; take a look at Time/Warner's owners:
