I was so disappointed in this episode that devolved into an "I Love Bobby" episode while being devoid of any fact checking or your usual and fully appreciated oppositional position voice. There were a great many wonderful points and teachable moments, but they became overshadowed by disinformation disguised as factual data. Calley is so enamored by "Bobby" that he believed himself to be an expert interpreter and kept saying "what he really meant is". Anyone can Google RFK interviews done in RFK's own words and know Calley's interpretation and RFK's own words are two different things. Also, they steamrolled past Barry's one attempt to include manmade agricultural toxins. I guess no one wanted to address what harm "drill baby drill" or poisons in pesticides introduced into the soil may be contributing to the quality of our food.
