Luna TV-Movie Update

As I do not plan to watch the movie, I keep reading the reviews in the local TV Weeklies. This morning "SUN Television" reports on Jason Priestley's role in the movie. It seems either the Star or Sun reviewer has not seen the film, or they were sent difference copies.
From the Sun:

Jeffries [ed. Jason Priestley's character] wants to trap the orca and sell it to Marineland, ...

Well, this certainly transforms the story substantially, and is a symptom of an almost complete inability of these shows to get past stupid stereotypes and confront the reality of the situation as it occurred. Worse, it demonizes our own bureaucrats with a flat-out lie. No doubt another justification of 'fake, but accurate' will come along.

And I cannot even blame this nonsense on the CBC!
