Depressing episode! I was getting sick watching that awful news report. It was much more depressing than any ep since "Divided Loyalties". But well done, as usual.

Just watched this ep again and did the ISN reporter and his show remind anyone else of Glenn Beck?

To me the whole thing seemed so eerily similar. The reporter takes a bunch of truncated clips, out of context information mixed with wild speculation. Than after all of the setup "I'm not saying that any of this is true, I'm just reporting the facts" which is followed by even more wild assertions framed as truth "(such and such) IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW." All that was missing was Beck's famous chalk board.
