An aside: HN's requirement to use the actual headline lead me to post the 2nd-best coverage; its headline was better. No policy is perfect of course.

National Geographic is a tremendously respected brand and is one of the last quality educational TV channels that hasn't "sold out" by making cheap reality shows (See History Channel, The Learning Channel, Discovery, etc). I really hope this doesn't change that.
