The Incubator FOX TV Kirsten Fenswick interviewed Mark Henkel -4- Aug 2007

National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel was interviewed by Kirsten Fenswick of The Incubator of FOX TV Studios, on August 29, 2007 - Part 4  The producer was looking for polygamous families to produce a documentary.  Prior to the interview, Mark Henkel had informed the producer that past situations with FOX had caused families in UCAP, Unrelated Consenting Adult Polygamy, to distrust it as a "Manufactured News Corporation."  The producer had started the interview off by making a couple mistakes right away - including starting it by making a "Circus Act Request" ("C.A.R.") that causes further problems regarding UCAP families' distrust of FOX (as being no different than other manufactured news corporations).  Mark Henkel tried to offer her explanatory corrections to help her to move beyond false stereotypes.  Mark Henkel detailed, "The media only wants to talk about, and put circus acts of actual practicing families on display, only so that people can go 'Ooh' and 'Ahh.'  And at the end of the day, they say, "Oh they're weird and I'm not going to support them!" rather than have the rhetorical debate..."  Mark Henkel pleaded: "We need the ability and the allowance to make our case to the public without the circus act because the circus act never works, and always allows the media in control of the circus act display to manipulate it according to its own designs, make their fat paychecks, and leave the families to suffer when it's done."  The producer did not understand that Mark Henkel was explaining the temporary challenge that she and he would have to overcome and resolve so that they could go further in the project."  Instead, the producer quickly seemed irritated and brought the discussion to a premature close.  Mark Henkel simply re-iterated his actual point, "I'm telling you where we're coming from." This is the final Part of this particular interview. http://www.NationalPolygamyAdvocate.com
