Is Dino Hunters real or staged?

Dino Hunters is a complete and utter insult to the paleontology community as a whole, and it’s surprising that Discovery even allowed this to air. It’s not educational, it doesn’t present any real facts, and it doesn’t show real paleontology at all. I highly recommend not watching Dino Hunters at all.
