I saw it and the reporter's bias as well. What I found most interesting was the interview(s) with the Prodigy representative who made the analogies with regular physical mail and how we don't expect the Post Office to screen all of our incoming mail. The reporter blew right past this argument and seemd to imply that if it was technically possible for the Post Office to screen your mail that it should. Quite disturbing...
