Why MSM Is Failing: Example 5602

 The headline (and link): 

Explained: How can we regulate asteroid mining?

I haven't listened to this interview. I'm deaf. I can't. BUT ...............

The gumph explaining the A/V:

 There's growing debate about the future of asteroid mining, as technology keeps making new advancements.

 These new developments have prompted concerns about how this process can be regulated, as it looks more likely asteroid mining will take off by the end of the decade.

 Waikato University Senior Lecturer in Law Anna-Marie Brennan says there's plenty to be mined from asteroids - and it will likely reduce the environmental impacts on Earth.

 "But at the same time, a lot of researchers, a lot of lawyers think we do need a monitoring mechanism for this activity."

 Let's look at that gumph:

 There's growing debate about the future of asteroid mining, as technology keeps making new advancements.

I suggest this comment is correct if you consider growing debate as meaning there has been two, rather than the normal one discussion(s) over coffee during morning tea.

  These new developments have prompted concerns about how this process can be regulated, as it looks more likely asteroid mining will take off by the end of the decade.

 Concerns? For an activity that does not exist? Other than by the always-greedy tax man by who? "Professional regulators and their enablers are too busy attempting to regulate human thought to yet even think of spacemen.

 Waikato University Senior Lecturer in Law Anna-Marie Brennan says there's plenty to be mined from asteroids - and it will likely reduce the environmental impacts on Earth.

 Now We start to see the reason for the piece. A Law-school teacher with delusions of grandeur wants some publicity so does what most of her type do to get it: invent something and pretend someone (also invented) is concerned.

 "But at the same time, a lot of researchers, a lot of lawyers think we do need a monitoring mechanism for this activity."

The big lie to justify the waste of space: "a lot of researchers, a lot of lawyers" in this case meaning Waikato University Senior Lecturer in Law Anna-Marie Brennan.

I seriously doubt you will find more than ten other people, World wide, concerned about the same thing - and every one of those will be communist tax-collectors. 

I suspect, based on the writing and lies that  Waikato University Senior Lecturer in Law Anna-Marie Brennan is a rather large woman, hence the word "lot".

This story was headlined on NewstalkZB not, as would be expected, as entertainment but as "news", no doubt to fill some sort of "science" quota.

Notably the gumph itself makes no attempt to offer the suggestion of the A/V actually explaining how can we regulate asteroid mining.

I fear for the future of both NewstalkZB and Waikato University.
