This is seriously depressing in ways that are hard to articulate. The article has a clear bias, but it is difficult to see how Pratt and Carpenter could be viewed favorably even with reporting that attempts objectivity. Hard to reconcile Carpenter's desire to be "the next Carl Sagan" (groan) with the clear desire to worsen viewing conditions.
