Call me a skeptic on this one. Could be true but...
The punch line was delivered at the 10:00 minute mark. Immediately after this mark the SCARY sounding music started. WHY? Because they wanted to set the "are you scared yet?" hook. Need to make sure you react in the proper way- scared. This is an entertainment piece. I've never, ever, heard a real piece of factual news that had or needed a scary sound track. Over produced. Intended for those that enjoy scary stories. This is ok for some entertainment, but it doesn't work on me. Just give me the factual data (preferably on both sides of the argument) without the music, without the opinion stated as fact.
Would any who have watched this reacted differently if they accidentally cued up happy, bouncy, circus music?
