August 2, 201213 yr comment_6474 I pushed this one up to the top of my queue! I used to live near Levittown. When I worked for Grumman. It will be interesting to see how the topic is approached. Report

August 4, 201213 yr comment_6511 I watched this video and found it extremely interesting. The Levittown I lived near was in Long Island, NY. So I was not familiar with the community. I really miss this type of interviewing. The interviewer never once inserted themselves into the question. No long winded preambles of what they thought or leading questions -- direct questions with follow up questions that probed more deeply. I really wish journalists worked this way today. The people who answered the questions came across a little too articulate almost as if they were actors or at least very well prepped for their responses. If they were prepared with the question before hand I think this too is good as the responses would be better the responses given off the top of one's head. The only complaint I had about this documentary was, and it is a big one, is why in the heck did they not interview the Black family that moved in?!!?! This defies all logic and calls into question the purpose of this video. Report
August 7, 201213 yr Author comment_6523 Exactly@ your only complaint. That is precisely why I worded the description as I did. Journalism is more often taken over by sensationalism. Ratings and marketing are norms and journalistic integrity is almost like an oxymoron. Report
