2.  The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) is a Washington, D.C.-based non-profit watchdog and consumer advocacy group fighting for safer, more nutritious food.  Should the fact that CSPI promoted the use of trans fat have been reported on in network news reports?  Explain your answer.

3.  The media's job is to investigate (get the facts) before reporting a story. Do you think the networks' failure to mention CSPI's role in the widespread use of trans fat: is sloppy journalism across the board, displays the ignorance of news reporters today, or is a deliberate omission of an unpleasant truth - that a non-profit group which pushes for government regulation on many types of food promoted the safety and widespread use of trans fat in many foods?  Explain your answer.
