The video opens with Rober standing in front of a fancy-looking box, saying:

Hiding inside this box is an absolute marvel of engineering you might just find protecting you the next time you’re at a public event that’s got a lot of people.

When he says “protecting you,” the video momentarily cuts to stock footage of a packed sports stadium, the first of many “war on terror”-coded editorial decisions, before returning to the box, which opens and releases a drone. This is no ordinary drone, he says, but a particularly heavy and fast drone, designed to smash “bad guy drones trying to do bad guy things.” He explains how “it’s only a matter of time” before these bad guys’ drones attack infrastructure “or worse,” cutting to a photo of a stadium for the third time in just 30 seconds.

    Interesting, insightful and moving. Again I learned about a current topic of which I knew almost nothing, from your ability to convey your unique perspective. Or, in other words, you can see what’s really happening and you can tell it like it is.

    Isn’t that what they call good journalism?

    Most enjoyable, thank you.
