20/20 - show about Cyber PORN

20/20 uses fear mongering. I remember when I was in the seafood business and they did story about seafood. Some guy dropped off some cases of oysters at 4am and they weren't put in the walk-in cooler. So they go on with their story and every few minutes they say something like:
"Now it's 6am and our oysters(oh how endearing) are still sitting where they were left, still unrefridgerated."
"now it's 10am, 6 hours after the oysters were delivered and you can clearly see they are in the same spot they were left in..."
Finally:
"And back to Fulton, our it's 11am now and they finally got around to putting the oysters in the cooler."
"Oh my! How can seafood distributers be so irresponsible?" I am sure most people thought, and since most people have never seen low tide when oysters sit baking in the sun for 8 hours they must be shocked! New Flash 20/20- Oysters don't need constant refridgeration.
Load of bullshit. I didn't see last nights show and I am not interested in what they have to say since they use tactics like the previous mentioned to scare ignorant viewers.
I contacted the NFA(National Fisheries Association) and 20/20 after they ran that story. Apparently they (20/20) didn't seem to have any desire to admit their tactics and never contacted me back.|pissleft|
