While I mourn the loss of National Geographic's print media, their current televison selections are crap and will fit in nicely in the Fox media empire. The Incredible Doctor Pol represents the best of veterinary medicine back in the 1920s when we didn't know what anaesthesia and pain meds were, and The Dog Whisperer depicts the journey of a guy who can't seem to understand current best practices in animal behavior science. Add in this channel's odd love of cop shows (Alaska State Troopers, Rocky Mountain Law and Southern Justice) and you've got a conservative's wet dream of programming.
I truly fear what's going to happen to the magazine, and especially what's going to happen with the children's educational materials. I'm sure Fox would love bending impressionable minds to their inability to understand the difference between fact and opinion.
