20/20 Redux

My comments on tonight's 20/20:

Interview with Lance Bass: The interviewer asked him about Britney. He claims they were friends. The only information he could give was about her first, annulled, marriage. During this part of the chat, 20/20 is showing images from this year, with her shaved head. So, friends? Maybe, back in the day. But it's very misleading to talk about events from over a year ago and show images from a few months ago.

Global warming with John Stossel: He was interviewing scientists who are more reticent to claim that the current environment is caused by recent human behavior. My problem is that there was clearly a slice in the video to allow Stossel to ask a question. There was no need for that video split, because the speaker was already answering. This seems to me like Stossel felt he wasn't getting enough air time.
