TODAY SHOW - PROPAGANDA?

I just spoke with my brother. He asked me if I'd seen the Today Show. Said they had just had a segment on the Ball/Burmese Python issue before Congress. Sounded like they intentionally combined Ball with Burmese to overstate the facts as to how many are imported annually. Some ungodly number that just had to include Ball Pythons. But of course the issue was the Burmese Python in the Everglades. A very convenient and deceptive method of spreading the propaganda. A shell game with the facts. A bit of slight of hand, I'd say.

Has anyone else seen this? Can someone find the segment on the Internet? It was either today or the day before, I'm pretty sure.

Something smells about this story and I don't think it's Burmese Python dung.
