The hosts mock a seven-minute NPR report on 12-year-old Milo Kress, the founder of the "Be Straw Free" campaign. Kress's organization, which advocates against the use of disposable drinking straws, received a proclamation from Governor Hickenlooper. The hosts question the news value of the story and suggest it may be an "extortion vehicle" for environmental causes.

The media's use of child activists is criticized as a manipulative PR tactic. Rachel Parent, a 14-year-old anti-GMO activist, is highlighted for her polished interview style on Canadian television. Similarly, 12-year-old Milo Kress, founder of the "Be Straw Free" campaign, is featured in an NPR report. The hosts argue that these children are being coached by adults to push specific agendas, making them difficult for journalists to challenge.
