...true. Television in particular has largely abandoned covering the world, with the exception of a crisis here or there for a few weeks. The entire world ends up being a loser for that. The essential problem is that networks have found they can send a reporter to a place like Congo, but it's dangerous and expensive and doesn't get good ratings.

Bordry proposed a second testing, but Armstrong dismissed the idea, claiming the samples had already been improperly handled. Bordry would have none of it.
