    Direct quote from the GMA article: "In fact, most of the fish did pass the
    test."

    As in most sensationalistic media reports, only the provacative makes news.
    Interesting that the article failed to give the percentage of product that
    passed the arbitrary cutoff! My guess is that the results showed that the
    industry does a pretty good job overall. They just pointed out the few obvious
    failures. Too bad the negative carries more weight than the positive.
