The Washington Post published a report Monday slamming Discovery Channel’s "Shark Week" programming for featuring too many White males as shark experts and continuing to peddle "negative messages" about sharks. The report highlighted a study done by the Public Library of Science led by Allegheny College biology professor Lisa Whitenack. The project observed that "Discovery’s programming emphasized negative messages about sharks, lacked useful messaging about shark conservation and overwhelmingly featured White men as experts — including several with the same name."

Who comes up with this schit? The world has gone mad.

The other deejay said, “Well, if a shark ever bites off one of MY “dangling appendages” I certainly hope it’s an arm or a leg!”
Those deejays were probably white, too...
While I think this is a pile of whooey, this article doesn’t really link to anything about the two authors of this study or include any of the so called information the study actually looked at.
