Of the guys interviewed for the piece, the ultimate editorial framing of which was not what we’d expected, I volunteered for the video segment. I thought that the videographer, who hadn’t read the piece, did a great job, and that Matt Lauer, in his cross-examining of the magazine editor and “expert witness” psychologist after the video segment, did a great job exploding the editor’s framing (and referring back to me in the video in the process). So really, in terms of how not to screw up the public conversation, a lot depends on the luck of having sympathetic allies involved in the set-up and presentation of the discussion. We can’t assume folks’ll have our back or be on the same page, and if they aren’t and we’re all by ourselves, especially if we’re on their media turf, it’s very easy to get steamrolled no matter our intentions. Anyway, here’s that piece (scroll to the bottom for the video): http://today.msnbc.msn.com​/id/38628278/ns/today-pare​nting/#.TjxIGs1qyhc
