If you were interviewed by media on Nootropics, what would you be cautious about?

Let's admit it. It's inevitable to get the media's nose out of this industry and it's best for them to interview the better, more educated users than those that are reckless. I may have an opportunity to get interviewed by the media on this matter and am unsure if I will proceed, but if I do I would like the communities input on how I should go through with it. Let this serve as a guide for other members who may come in contact with the media also. NOTE: I made very clear that I want nothing to do with a negative angle on Nootropics users and that this community is among the most educated of people in the world.
UPDATE: I have declined interview and thanked MTV for the opportunity last night. No response since! The person I talked to was definitely nice over the phone, but didn't return my email, yet!

One of the MTV "journalists" recently told a Redditor that they would like to setup some scenes where they were measuring Nootropic powders in their room, and then have their dad bust in yelling about how concerned he is for his son. This was only a couple weeks ago. They literally want to setup fake arguments with people about Nootropics, to try and create controversy. I think you are seriously underestimating just how much someone can spin a scenario, and the PR damage it can cause. It's going to be positioned like kids doing lines of Modafinil in their room, and their parents being scared for their health. These Redditors backed out after the legal paperwork was brought out for them to sign, and they realized just what MTV was going for.
Do not work with these people. They sell entertainment. Responsible use of safe compounds does not sell entertainment. So they will position and twist the story to fit their narrative. They will do it during filming, and even more in post production. They might even stitch scenes together to completely alter your wording, without you being able to do a damn thing about it. You could have the purest intentions in the world. They will get enough footage to stitch together what they want to show.
