RAS> I think the objections here are three-fold:

"Researchers take advantage of ideal conditions and huge funding
to do a fraction of what network engineers do every day" just
doesn't help ratings.  This is the same mass media that predicted
the end of the world when our calendars turned 2000.

Alas, I suppose a thread about "American mass media stinks" would
be just about as revolutionary as that on which they "reported".
The difference is that NANOG posts are cheaper and at least
somewhat more accurate.
