You are scanning a list of upcoming lectures on campus.

You see the title "Media Manipulation".

You get excited!  Your thoughts turn to image rotations
and filters, audio normalization and compression formats.

You read on to see the subtitle: "You, Me, and Them
(the 'media' isn't what it used to be)" and realize that
the talk isn't about CS; it's about communications and
journalism.

You are disappointed.

(I'd probably enjoy this talk anyway...  The topic is
important, and I know and like the speaker.  But still.
To be honest, in recent weeks I have been less concerned
with the media manipulating me than with the people in
the media not doing the research they need to ensure
their stories are accurate.)
