    <reviewbody>Hack 2 was the first clip I watched, hoping to become more informed.&#13;
&#13;
The Hacker seriously undercuts his credibility by use of a video stunt -- six or so repetitions of a 2-second phrase, "tremendous hullabaloo," from one of the speakers, the last presented with audio distortion so that the speaker comes out with a squeaky voice.  This stunt makes me wonder if the Hacker used other, less obvious distortions, in particular whether his selection of clips pieced together to create a story wasn't seriously unbalanced.  &#13;
&#13;
My take is that this is not a series one should rely on for a complete or fair picture.  Maybe it was never intended to be, but with the way the Net works, I followed a list link that didn't indicated that the would be one-sided. </reviewbody>
