COMMENTS: Dinner Hour
Filing from Masai Mara in Kenya under the Our Planet logo, NBC's Martin Fletcher tried to turn his footage of the migration of million-strong wildebeest herd from Tanzania into a global warming story. He worried that extreme weather caused by climate change would disrupt the wildebeest cycle of feeding and breeding, as east African drought alternates with heavy rains. Fletcher tried. But in the end this was just a traditional animal closer, telling the sad tale of the young injured Wilbert the wildebeest. Wilbert could not keep up with his kin and ended up as dinner for Leona the lioness and her cubs. "Sorry that did not have a happier ending," apologized anchor Brian Williams.
