    BBC Programme to show acupuncture deactivates brain

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4631930.stm Any comments? It seems this is just the filming of the experiment where the results were given here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4493011.stm, but I'm sure that the guy who ran the experiments was discredited or something. Part of a three...

I was contacted by the BBC a few months back, asking for advice, so I was expecting it about now. Don't miss it. Some bits have been leaked, so watch...

    BBC News 'Physics of Kung Fu' article

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4728191.stm Dull article, but some of the comments people have left on the page are truly moronic. Apparently, "They aren't taking into account quantum sciences that acknowledge things such as Qi (Chi) energies that exist in every one of us". Gee, who knew...

    (Ed) The BBC and "ComplementaryTherapies"

    The BBC and "Complementary Therapies" The BBC has a section on it's website dedicated to health. Quite a lot of it is taken up with complementary medicine. Go here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/health/healthy_living/complementary_medicine/ Two questions occur to me. Firstly, should the BBC support...

    Tortured fluffy animals and the BBC

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4575371.stm This how the BBC reports on a report on animal testing. Not a single extract from the report is published without criticism from campaigners before and after. Lots of quotes from various campaigners without rebuttal from those researchers who...

    The BBC

    "I work as a director for the BBC in documentaries and factual, and I am immensely proud of working for one of the last bastions of rational, unbiased journalism in the world." In that case you might like to do a factual, rational, unbiased documentary on the likes of "John of God". I...

    The "God Gene" on the BBC

    While driving to work this morning, I was listening to the BBC on NPR. They interviewed the author of The God Gene: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0385500580/qid=1110113155/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/002-4217310-0316042 I was impressed with this little 5-minute segment. The commentator...

    Christians, "Gerry Springer -- the Opera", Fallujah and the BBC

    So 50,000 Christians are irate about “Gerry Springer: the Opera” shown on BBC2 last Saturday -- because it was perceived as blasphemous. At least no-one was killed. In the BBC2 Report on Fallujah shown 24 Nov 2004 the BBC Middle East Correspondent invoked a Christian narrative in line with...

    Thought for the day on BBC Radio 4

    I know, picking holes in a religious spot is like shooting fish in a barrel, but this morning's opinion really wound me up. The speaker (I didn't catch the name. Anyone know?) was discussing some recent research which suggested that the tendency for some women to be adulterers might be...

    The Other Medicine (BBC Radio 4)

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/science/other_medicine.shtml Well, the first programme wasn't too bad, but the second was has been tooth-itchingly awful. Soft questions gently batted by the woos. One of the alleged scientific investigators describes his trial of acupuncture vs conventional drugs...

    BBC sucks as badly as the US tv coverage

    I'm in Europe watching a BBC news show. They are coving the touching story of the happy children of Cairo that aren't "at home playing video games, but instead are out in the fresh air flying home made kites". Seems these kids make kites, they get the bamboo and collect old used trash bags...
