The point of this interview was the manipulation of perceptions. Sandman is a guy whose job it is to do just that: manipulate perceptions, without regard for the reality (though if he does his job right, he's not directly lying).
OTM _is_ one of the better programs around, but it is, as the title states, "on" the media. That is, a reflexive looking at the media and how it covers issues.
It's mostly pretty good, though at times Brooke in particular strikes me as rather pointedly naive (with her cred and background, she really shouldn't be). I've got a copy of her comic/book The Influencing Machine, which is also mostly pretty good, though there were multiple occasions I wanted to reach through the page and shake Brooke.
