Tech TV often tries to get more "normal people" to watch their show, often by dumbing down their product reviews so the average person could understand it, and attempt to add some humor to it. Because Tech TV isn't looking to make their channel appear a documentary (like the History Channel) or an news channel (like CNN), but something in the middle, like TLC. They often try to make their show interesting, by making fun of people or technology. In general terms, the media often twist something to fit a story they think people will like. It is one point of view of FIRST, that really should just be disregarded.

I didn't see the show, but the comment on nerds is not unexpected. You can't expect every media piece on FIRST to be positive. This is the real world, where everything is made fun of, from politics to entertainment. I have seen some bad news articles in the past about FIRST, that completely misinterprets us with Battlebots.

Don't be offended, when an organization grows, like FIRST, so does the amount of crap from people who doesn't understand how good FIRST is. People sometimes make fun of something, just because people haven't made fun of it.

Even though that may have not been the best report of FIRST, it is still coverage of FIRST, and gets it out to the public.
