This is an announcement of an episode, which seems close to an an annoucement of an announcement: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37410214>

I'm thinking that's somewhat off-topic, as there's just a teaser 'graph (though not so short as to give some cause to complain) and a < 2m trailer.

Post the episode itself once it's up and we can talk. Hopefully substantively.

That's fair! I mostly posted it because this was the first I'd heard if it and I mostly wanted to hear HN's thoughts about whether this is noteworthy enough for a Frontline documentary.

But I grew up watching Frontline and Nova and other PBS shows with my grandfather, so I think they might just occupy a different place in my mind than they do for others.

Definitely. The episode looks interesting, and the heads-up is useful.

But the announcement itself isn't food for "intellectual curiosity", HN's objective:

Kinda hilarious it's right above a link to their "Journalistic Standards". And that "T" refers to the Trust Project which is funded by the the same consortium of billionaires concerned with gatekeeping information.

You're right, that's a pretty glaring error. In fairness to the journalists, I doubt any of them are writing the website copy.

You are technically correct
