Proof that media (over)hype is *not* a new thing... a small documentary on some shark attacks around 1915 or 1916. A shark attack in the area of New Jersey managed to push little things like Pancho Villa raiding in Texas and the Great War (that's World War One to us) to secondary status for a few weeks.
Okay, 1916. Show name is "Incredible but True". Must be THC's version of the Doomsday stuff Discovery and The Learning Channel show from time to time. ["Comets... asteroids... dome volcanos... oh MY!"]
