Having had some experience with "the media" (on a smaller scale) they will spin anything with out-takes and lead-ins to present what they want in the most sensational way possible. They can make the subject look foolish and use you to help if that's what they want. Or they can show photos of Olymic kayakers and girls rowing teams (sans-PFDs) to make you look foolish. Worse yet, they could make the Downtown Boathouse look any way they want. And they don't attract viewers by making anyone look good.
