Three minutes on Ebola worth watching on Chuck Todd's MTP. Really!

[egbertowillies]

Chuck Todd and Meet The Press finally put on a substantive program that showed a few rays of what good journalism could look like. The discussion on Ebola was mostly substantive. There were a few instances where political reporters showed their lack of objectivity and journalistic decency however. The experts effectively squashed their flawed reasoning.

1. Chuck Todd could have the secret to turn dogshit into gold but if I have to watch Meet The Press

to find out I'll never know it.

2. The point that jumped out to me ...

was: We have a federally funded program to work on and find cures/vaccines for the horrific diseases out there; but it relies on corporations ability to commercialize their findings ... IOWs, their work sits on a corporate shelf until there's an outbreak large enough to make production financially viable ... so curing a 100 people is not worth the corporate wile.

Here's a thought: Fund the research and turn it back over to the government for usage, wherever the findings can be used, and stockpiling the rest.
