Topic: Media Protection

The episode concludes with archival clips of Dr. Judith Reisman on the *Phil Donahue Show* in 1990, where she accused Alfred Kinsey of using data derived from the sexual abuse of children. The hosts highlight how Donahue and the media establishment protected Kinsey's legacy by attacking Reisman's credentials. They draw a final parallel to how power structures choose which "predators" to protect and which to destroy.

The media's focus on sensational crimes—such as a mother swapping an infant for crack or a child being set on fire—is discussed as a method of narrative building. The "crack baby" phenomenon is introduced, questioning the long-term outcomes for children born addicted in the 1980s. The segment notes how these stories were used to justify aggressive legislative and policing shifts.
