Some excerpts from web site brokerschoice.com:

• Dateline ... has been widely panned as a throwback to the worst days of Yellow Journalism.
• Reports indicate that NBC officials in recent months have quietly tried to cancel Dateline altogether.
• We thoroughly researched the entire contents of our two-day, 18-hour seminar, hoping to find anything that might be even remotely questionable or untruthful. Our attorneys found nothing of the sort. Yet we would later discover that Dateline was not interested in truthful context. Dateline would use isolated excerpts of the buttonhole footage to make us look bad, which would add to the entertainment value of its negative story about annuities.

While Dateline pointed out certain potentially negative things about some annuity products, the story was really about the presence of participants in the industry who fail to disclose material facts about their product. This might be in the form of "overcoming objections" or other classic selling strategies. But selling strategies are no excuse for lying to prospective customers about the risk of their money in bank accounts, misleading them about provisions of the annuity contract, or refusing to answer direct questions.
