They don't show the final result why?
I don't think they are being deliberately manipulative, I notice that this is how it normally plays out with the MSM. It's more down to ignorance and a basic lack of real interest in the subject.
You've got some know nothing journalist and a cameraman sent out to create output ASAP. That is their real drive, there is no way they are going to hold the piece for 6/12 months and to revisit will not be cost effective for them because the result will just take a few minutes to show and will not in their eyes create enough air time to justify the expense required. It will also not give the know nothing journalist any opportunity to look good and to further their career.
I'm sure as far as they are concerned "we've done hair transplants for a while" and it will only be used as a filler again after a period of time has elapsed (e.g. a year). It's all about them, they will pay lip service to doing a proper job on any subject but in reality it is well down their order of priority.
