I miss the old (20-30 years ago) format of: Discovery Channel National Geographic Channel Science Channel History Channel Was it really less biased back then or was I unaware of the bias?
Would you watch more science TV shows about animal behavior & natural history if they weren't so relentlessly preachy & catastrophizing about climate change?

The bias - including, for many decades, Attenborough's own bias - was in favour of suppressing the steadily accumulating bad news for fear of putting viewers off. Doesn't seem like bias now to start including it in modest doses.

I can't even stand to go to the zoo. The descriptions on every exhibit appear to have been edited by catastrophic global warming activists. I know when I'm being manipulated and lied to.

I'm ok with "preachiness" and "catastrophizing" since something needs to fucking happen and the current systems and leaders are failing us.

No it doesn't

Is that even an issue? Usually relates to the endless subject of endangered species, no?
