poorly-structured interview. a better format for the interview would have been the professor taking the initiative to resolve the issue with the danish reporters, then explaining how he enhanced their reporting techniques, leading to new reporting trends. leaving it at "you are wrong" is fine as an indicator for change, but solves nothing

Incorrect. A better structure would be to have an entire panel shouting him down.

I have read that we're living in the most peaceful time ever and the chances of dying in a war have never been this low. Hard to reconcile this with general sentiment.

We're also living in the most media-reported time ever. Where our "news" organizations have become propaganda machines.

There's a valid point of "It's never been this bad." is actually "I've barely heard of this before."

Ant submitted http://videosift.com/video/The-Fallen-of-World-War-2-WWII a few months ago. At the end the narrator puts forth the Most Peaceful Time conclusion as well.

This guy may have a point, but he stretches credibility when he calls Buhari "very competent" or Boko Haram a "tiny problem." Half the world may have electricity, but many large countries are experiencing longer and longer power cuts as corruption and conflict degrades their infrastructure, including Nigeria.

Looks to me like he's as willing as the media to shamelessly exaggerate to advance his worldview.
